I'm running into a problem with using the -Bsymbolic flag. Building a shared library which references global symbols that are not found in it, we usually use the --noinhibit-exec flag so that shared library builds even without those symbols being bound. The build command looks like this: gcc -shared -Wl,-v -Wl,-Bsymbolic -Wl,--noinhibit-exec -o \ /ax/axexec/axdata/axshlib/libaxel.so -L/ax/axexec/axdata/axshlib \ -L/ax/axobj/axdata/rts elimports.o elexports.o \ /ax/axobj/axdata/rts/axel.o Without the -Bsymbolic flag, the shared library builds fine. With the flag, however, it spits out the following errors (which are expected): GNU ld version 2.9.4 (with BFD 990418) /ax/axobj/axdata/rts/axel.o: In function `ElfInstallLibModules': /ax/axobj/axdata/rts/axel.o(.text+0x38): undefined reference to `ElfInstallModule' /ax/axobj/axdata/rts/axel.o(.text+0x48): undefined reference to `ElfInstallModule' /ax/axobj/axdata/rts/axel.o(.text+0x58): undefined reference to `ElfInstallModule' /ax/axobj/axdata/rts/axel.o: In function `ELElfMacroId': /ax/axobj/axdata/rts/axel.o(.text+0xc0): undefined reference to `ElfGetModuleStartInd' On other platforms (i.e., Intel, Alpha), we also see these errors, but because of the --noinhibit-exec flag, the shared library is correctly built anyway. But on PPC, ld returns with 1 exit status, and the shared library is not built. Not using -Bsymbolic is not an option. Ideas?
