.sl vs .so does not seem to be one of the behaviors where the PA64 behavior matches the Itanium behavior, confirmed with a PA64 APR build and below: http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90968/linkerdifferencesiapa.htm Do you object to backporting the testdso.c update in trunk? The test has to predict what libtool will spit out, and this gets HP/IA64 "make check" running clean. -- Eric Covener [email protected]
