Building tests from multiple object files


I'm still working on upstreaming our libresolv and NSS tests. During that, I noticed the following.

The glibc makefiles do not provide a simple way to assemble a test binary from multiple object files. One way to see this is to apply the attached harmless patch and then run

  make subdirs=elf check

(or whatever you do to run the test suite).  Linking the test fails with:

/home/fweimer/src/gnu/glibc/build/elf/tst-tlsalign-vars.o: In function `use_errno': /home/fweimer/src/gnu/glibc/git/elf/tst-tlsalign-vars.c:36: undefined reference to `__libc_errno'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
../Rules:154: recipe for target '/home/fweimer/src/gnu/glibc/build/elf/tst-tlsalign-extern' failed

The apparent cause is that the second object file for the test was built against internal glibc headers.

The incorrect make rule for the elf/tst-tlsalign-vars.o target is created by o-iterator.mk. I have not been able to figure out which of the inclusions triggered this.

Is there a quick fix for this?

Thanks,
Florian
