Ulrich,
Okay, after talking to HJ, if I understand him correctly,
if a symbol appears as it does now in glibc-2-2-branch on ppc
as...
000266b0 g DF .text 000000c8 GLIBC_2.0 __divdi3
...this exports the symbol for linking as well as
for run-time resolution. Now my understanding was
that you demanded we not export the symbols from
libgcc-compat for linking. Franz's revised patch
appears to do exactly this with this result instead...
00026680 g DF .text 000000c8 (GLIBC_2.0) __divdi3
...which HJ tells me doesn't export the symbol for
linking but only for run-time resolution.
If my read on this is correct, Franz should
push this revised libgcc-compat into glibc-2-2-branch
asap regardless of what happens to his gcc 3.2 fixup
patch. Also, this patch would have been problematic
last week since it exposed a binutils bug causing
link failures. HJ now has this fixed in binutils cvs.
Thanks in advance for any comments on this.
Jack
