But ca you really expect char *progname to resolve to the library copy? In fact the linker resolution here is 1 t2.o 4 207 b42c927210240321 PREVAILING_DEF main 349 b42c927210240321 PREVAILING_DEF_IRONLY_EXP progname 351 b42c927210240321 RESOLVED_DYN stderr 347 b42c927210240321 UNDEF my_name and thus it correctly(?) resolves to a non-exported local copy (GNU ld 2.30 branch). Note that without --as-needed I get 1 t2.o 4 207 226c604d5f4407d9 PREVAILING_DEF main 349 226c604d5f4407d9 RESOLVED_DYN progname 351 226c604d5f4407d9 RESOLVED_DYN stderr 347 226c604d5f4407d9 RESOLVED_DYN my_name so I think this points to a GNU ld bug (and gold behaves the same). HJ? I think for the purpose of generating the resolution we have to ignore --as-needed?
