symbol clarification please?

[Jack Howarth]

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
