Re: [PATCH] [MIPS] Raise highest supported EI_ABIVERSION value
Hello,
I wanted to discuss this a bit more before proposing another
version of the patch.
Seeing as this is a trivial ABI version increment proposition,
I believe that including a testcase is superfluous (even more
so considering that the original issue [1] has a corresponding
testcase).
Furthermore, testing this patch requires static linker cooperation,
which means the undefined hidden and internal weak symbol
handling in static linker must be checked during glibc configuration.
If you think that the testcase is needed anyway, what I had in
mind was checking the static linker in the configure script, and
then enabling/disabling the test based on the result. The test
would just need to execute without "ABI version invalid" error
message.
Cheers,
Mihailo
