Oops, thanks, therefore it now still fallbacks to -rdynamic. It is
reproducible on RHEL-4.8 (+derivations).

[PATCH] Fix --dynamic-list
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-10/msg00064.html
commit 5bab058dff8c0ff134868cc6fdcbe6afe58d7ebc
Author: Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>
Date: Wed Oct 11 14:58:19 2006 +0000
I have tested this fix on ppc64 and it has no effect on the build with binutils
from that GIT hash. lang_append_dynamic_list gets called only once with all
the symbols at once:
Breakpoint 1, lang_append_dynamic_list (dynamic=0x1020a140) at ldlang.c:6961
6961 if (link_info.dynamic)
(gdb) p *dynamic
$1 = {next = 0x1020a0f0, pattern = 0x1020a120 ".ps_ptwrite", symbol = 0x1020a170 ".ps_ptwrite", symver = 0, script = 0, mask = 1}
(gdb) p *dynamic->next
$2 = {next = 0x1020a080, pattern = 0x1020a0d0 "ps_ptwrite", symbol = 0x1020a0d0 "ps_ptwrite", symver = 0, script = 0, mask = 1}
(gdb) p *dynamic->next->next
$3 = {next = 0x1020a030, pattern = 0x1020a060 ".ps_ptread", symbol = 0x1020a0b0 ".ps_ptread", symver = 0, script = 0, mask = 1}
Tested it on:
OpenSolaris 2009.06 snv_111b X86
gcc (GCC) 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-20050802)
$ gcc -rdynamic
gcc: unrecognized option `-rdynamic'
$ gcc -Wl,-export-dynamic ...
ld: fatal: entry point symbol `xport-dynamic' is undefined
$ gcc -Wl,--export-dynamic ...
usage: ld [-6:abc:d:e:f:h:il:mo:p:rstu:z:B:CD:F:GI:L:M:N:P:Q:R:S:VW:Y:?] file(s)
$ /usr/sfw/libexec/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.11/3.4.3/collect2 --version
ld: Software Generation Utilities - Solaris Link Editors: 5.11-1.1652
$ ld --help|grep export-dynamic
GNU ld version 2.15
-E, --export-dynamic Export all dynamic symbols
But no special option is needed for threads debugging there; there also isn't
any one available for the Sun-provided gcc build. I can remove the Solaris
host simplification
* configure.ac (solaris*): Replace -Wl,-export-dynamic by $RDYNAMIC.
if there are any concerns. The patch replaces -Wl,-export-dynamic by -rdynamic.
it could also test -Wl,-export-dynamic as a second fallback after current
-rdynamic. -rdynamic was already used directly in linux .mh config/ files.
I do not have sparc solaris available to test the gdbserver change on solaris.
gdbserver is not supported on x86* solaris.

No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora12-linux-gnu.
