Bug ID: 107630 Summary: runtime libs should be self-contained Product: gcc Version: 13.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: modula2 Assignee: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: ro at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Prompted by PR modula2/107629, I checked the runtime libs on Solaris and Linux, and (not unexpectedly) found the same issue: with the exception of libm2min.so, none of the gm2 runtime libs are self-contained, each containing tons of undefined references. This is considered bad style at least (cf. the libtool manual, among others), and with a small (and intentional) exception in libgo.so, all other gcc runtime libs are, as they should be. It would be good if libgm2 would follow suite, making PR modula2/107629 vanish. I've had a quick look myself, but things seem not so easy since some of the unresolved symbols are defined in several of the other runtime libs, plus there are references to completely difference libs (libm2pim -> libstdc++) or objects (libm2pim -> gm2-gcc/init.o).
