Hi all, I'm running into a strange problem on HPUX 11i with gcc-3.4.2 that I think is related to collect2.
For anyone who isn't familiar with it, HPUX has some interesting peculiarities when working with 32 bit executables - they use SHLIB_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and, to make things more interesting, the linking and loading system ignores SHLIB_PATH unless you pass the +s flag to the linker. By default any shared libraries you create will only work if shared libraries they reference are in exactly the same path as they were when the shared library was created. I've had to rebuild the libstdc++.sl with the -Wl,+s flag so that it can find libgcc_s.sl from the SHLIB_PATH. The strange behaviour I'm seeing is that if I link my shared libraries with -Wl,+s, then some of them work fine and find all of their libraries based on the SHLIB_PATH settings. However, some of my libraries find everything *except* libstdc++.sl from the SHLIB_PATH - these libraries only load if I put libstdc++.sl in the exact same location it was in when I built the library in the first place. My suspicion is that when collect2 relinks things it's not using the +s flag, and that is causing the behaviour I'm seeing... Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any suggestions on how I might resolve it? Warren
