But that only works when --enable-plugin is used. If you build a
toolchain with --enable-target=all but without --enable-plugin then you get:
libtool: link: gcc -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes
-Werror -g -O2 -o size size.o bucomm.o version.o filemode.o
../bfd/.libs/libbfd.a ../libiberty/libiberty.a -lz
../bfd/.libs/libbfd.a(plugin.o): In function `try_load_plugin':
.../bfd/plugin.c:127: undefined reference to `dlopen'
.../bfd/plugin.c:134: undefined reference to `dlsym'
.../bfd/plugin.c:130: undefined reference to `dlerror'
So - what you need to do is to prevent the plugin target from being
included in an all-targets toolchain, unless --enable-plugin has been
specified as well.
Cheers
Nick
