I saw similar behaviour a couple of years ago when I switched from using gcc 4.0.2 to gcc 4.3.0 to compile some out-of-tree KLD modules. The problem ended up being a change in the linker script used by GNU ld for linking kernel modules. It used to always put some magic symbols used by the linker to implement things like sysinits into the module. It was changed to only provide those symbols, which apparently means that the linker would discard those symbols if nothing referenced them(and nothing did reference them). I had to work around it by adding the following to my link line:
-u __start_set_sysinit_set -u __start_set_sysuninit_set \ -u __start_set_sysctl_set -u __start_set_modmetadata_set \ -u __stop_set_sysinit_set -u __stop_set_sysuninit_set \ -u __stop_set_sysctl_set -u __stop_set_modmetadata_set _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
