Hello, I'm currently trying to restore/update blackfin toolchain. One of the major problems I've stumbled upon are versioned scripts/export symbols. Basically there are lot's of software starting from g++ itself that have symbol versioning scripts. The problem is that blackfin arch prepends all symbols with underscore, thus breaking all that scripts.
My first intention was to follow the alsa-libs approach: handle all prefixing on package-per-package basis. However that would be a nigtmare. My current intention (that at least partially works) is to make libtool (when it's used) generate correct versioning scripts and resort to package-per-package updating after that. The problem comes from C++ world, where versioning script can contain unmangled name, but it's demangled name that should be prefixed with underscore. So I have a bit hackish idea: maybe it's better to hack ld to accept scripts w/o underscores and prefix all symbols with it? This will eliminate most of changes. The question is if this patch is acceptable for OE? Does this approach sound too hackish? -- With best wishes Dmitry _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list Openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
