Does MacOS not have weak symbols? ... oh for goodness' sake, it uses a different attribute, weak_import. Not worth checking for that for this incredibly marginal feature, particularly given that I don't have a Mac and as far as I know there are none in the compile farm because Apple is so hostile to virtualization, so I can't test it: instead, I'll rejig things to use actual knowledge of whether the file is being linked to libctf-nobfd or not. Patch coming soon. I will definitely need help testing it... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
