I am against both patches: 1. libgallium shared in this version causes duplicate symbols for depending targets if using static LLVM libs and generally links to much LLVM components/libs 2. libmesagallium shared in a right implementation unconditionally depends on shared libglapi and shared libgallium to avoid duplicate symbol for depending targets 3. It is not "-no-undefined" but "-Wl,--no-undefined" to show missing symbols (and currently there are a lot of them in Mesa) ... 4. I have worked to target issues of 1. to 3. in a bottom-up series since December while splitting mesa into libmesacore, libmesadri and libmesagallium to reduce binary sizes as much as possible for distributions If 4. will be finished right this patch should become obsolete: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=cf69a591e1ad16b590c9ae2eba0da6fa6c4fc741 And also most of the C++ linker forces will become obsolete. But pushing things like http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=2506b035031d6022fec0465bffac8eedd43de0f9 without saying in which cases it is required (e. g. not for me) doesn't make it easier to fulfill less memory consumption ...
