Indeed, this is quite surprising. I think this just happens to work as long as there are no relocations against ios_base_library_init - i.e. as long as we don't try to call it, ld.bfd seems to accept the undefined symbol silently, while LLD errors out. (In reply to Jakub Jelinek from comment #5) > So on mingw we link with -Wl,--version-script=.../gnu.ver and ld just > ignores it? IIRC it doesn't entirely ignore it - version scripts can be used with ld.bfd for mingw targets, for pattern/glob matching to choose which symbols to export and which to hide. But it doesn't actually apply any symbol version, no.
