The committed fix makes sense and does explain the reported behaviour.

Hi Marc!

Is this fix now in cvs tree xc module? I.e. can I update my working dir and
try to build?

Thanks,

New versions of the gcc compiler have an optimization called 
string merging which is enabled by default.  The XFree86 module 
loader chokes on the ELF sections that this optimization adds to 
the ELF objects.

To work around this XFree86 module loader limitation, you need 
to pass -fno-merge-constants to the linker when modules are 
being built. This can be done from host.def with:

ModuleLdFlags -fno-merge-constants

This was automatically detected in later 4.1.0 CVS, and also in 
4.2.0 CVS however it looks like someone removed the automatic 
checks in head CVS.

The above #define must be set as above when compiling with all 
newer versions of gcc 3.x, as well as gcc 2.96.

Hope this helps,
TTYL

No, it wasn't removed.  But, it's possible that

gcc -fmerge-constants -xc /dev/null -S -o /dev/null

... no longer generates a zero return (i.e. is no longer a valid test to
determine whether or not the compiler has merge-constants support).

Hi xpert!

I have read that the gcc option -fno-merge-constants can help me? Is this
right and if so, where do I specify an extra compiler option for the XFree86
build?

Thank you,
Axel
