New submission from Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratoch...@redhat.com>: FSF GDB (and future Fedora GDBs) became 250KB smaller than before. Python recently disabled this GDB build optimization so GDB is 250KB larger again.

GDB regressed due to /usr/lib*/python*/config/Makefile contains: LINKFORSHARED=-Xlinker -export-dynamic and GDB thus has to use it even for its own link, effectively disabling its: -Wl,--dynamic-list=./proc-service.list AFAIK Python already contains the required exports list but it is used only on MS-Windows. It should be utilized even for GNU/Linux builds. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 118756 nosy: dmalcolm, jankratochvil priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Use -Wl,--dynamic-list=x.list, not -Xlinker -export-dynamic type: resource usage versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10112> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
