I suspect that, in this case, it is as per D9 (if you have a build around, > you could confirm this). I don't have the test suite setup for d8, but the test executes when compiled with gcc-fsf-4.7 -Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup -Wl,-flat_namespace pr53922.c [pbook] dominiq/tempo% gcc-fsf-4.7 -v Using built-in specs. COLLECT_GCC=gcc-fsf-4.7 COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/sw/lib/gcc4.7/libexec/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0/4.7.2/lto-wrapper Target: powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0 Configured with: ../gcc-4.7.2/configure --prefix=/sw AS=odas AS_FOR_TARGET=odas NM_FOR_TARGET=odnm LD_FOR_TARGET=odld AR_FOR_TARGET=odar LIPO_FOR_TARGET=odlipo OBJDUMP_FOR_TARGET=odobjdump RANLIB_FOR_TARGET=odranlib STRIP_FOR_TARGET=odstrip --prefix=/sw/lib/gcc4.7 --mandir=/sw/share/man --infodir=/sw/lib/gcc4.7/info --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,lto,objc,obj-c++,java --with-gmp=/sw --with-libiconv-prefix=/sw --with-ppl=/sw --with-cloog=/sw --with-mpc=/sw --with-system-zlib --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --program-suffix=-fsf-4.7 --enable-cloog-backend=isl --with-dwarf2 --disable-libjava-multilib --disable-libquadmath Thread model: posix gcc version 4.7.2 (GCC) but does not if -Wl,-flat_namespace is omitted. So I guess the answer is yes.
