Hi, Trying to link a shared object on FC3 and get some confusing undefined references in libc_nonshared.a. I isolated it to when I pass -shared as a linker option, as in "gcc -Wl,-shared". When I use the gcc option, "gcc -shared" I don't get the problem. If I google one of the missing references I see sporadic hits of people crying that they can't build their favorite program. A few discuss linker scripts but don't end with a conclusive answer. I don't know much about linking nor do I know much about how gcc invokes ld. This smells like some kind of mismatch between glibc and binutils. Can anyone help? thanks, chris error listing: gcc -Wl,-shared -o slibtest.so slibtest.o /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS)(.text+0x1c): In function `__libc_csu_init': : undefined reference to `__init_array_end' /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS)(.text+0x22): In function `__libc_csu_init': : undefined reference to `__init_array_start' /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS)(.text+0x68): In function `__libc_csu_fini': : undefined reference to `__fini_array_end' /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS)(.text+0x6e): In function `__libc_csu_fini': : undefined reference to `__fini_array_start' /usr/bin/ld: slibtest.so: hidden symbol `__fini_array_end' isn't defined /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output collect2: ld returned 1 exit status __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
