Description Janis 2008-04-04 09:21:07 UTC
In my case incorrect path was defined and following error appeared:

bin/pytool: symbol lookup error: bin/pytool: undefined symbol: stat64

This may be misleading for end-user.

Hi Janis,

  It appears that this error is being reported by this 'pytool' program which is
interpreting a linker error message, correct ?  In which case this is really a
problem for pytool and not the linker.  Pytool is invoking the linker. so pytool
should interpret the linker's error messages.

Cheers
  Nick

PS. If you feel that this is still a linker problem then please let us know:

 * The version of the linker involved (and if not the current version, why not).
 * The host and target involved.
 * A simple way to reproduce the problem.
