Package: gcc-4.1 Version: 4.1.2-15 Severity: normal Hi,
I'm trying to build a shared library which is linked statically against any lib it needs; the -Wl,-static flag there seems to trigger the following error when the -Wl,-z,defs is in place: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Here's a simple C file, foo.c, to reproduce the problem: void foo(void) { return; } Build with: cc -c -o foo.o foo.c cc -shared -Wl,-z,defs -o libfoo.so foo.o -Wl,-static There's no package in the archive providing libgcc_s.a, and I checked an old gcc-4.1 build log for i386, and only libgcc_s.so seems to be built. However, I looked in /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.3 and found the symbol in libgcc_eh.a. After I ran "ln -s libgcc_eh.a libgcc_s.a", I could build the above simple program. I don't know which signification "libgcc_eh" and "libgcc_s" have, but it seems to me either gcc should look for libgcc_eh in the above case, or that it should build libgcc_s.a, or that it shoud symlink libgcc_s.a towards libgcc_eh.a.
