Hello, I have a C++ shared library project. When I add "--coverage" to CXXFLAGS(I also added -g and -O0) and LDFLAGS, the project fails to compile, here's the error message: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: .libs/variable_printer: hidden symbol `atexit' in /usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a(atexit.oS) is referenced by DSO /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [variable_printer] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: .libs/metadata_generator: hidden symbol `atexit' in /usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a(atexit.oS) is referenced by DSO /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output collect2: ld returned 1 exit status variable_printer and metadata_generator are two utilities that are linked against the shared libraries. The above error only occurs on 64bit platform. It works fine on 32bit platform. I tried with "configure --disable-shared" and it worked for us. But I don't know the reason of the above error and can't be sure if --disable-shared is the correct solution. -- Best wishes, Mu Qiao GnuPG fingerprint: 92B1 B0C4 8D14 F8C4 EFA5 3ACC 30B3 0DE4 17B1 57E9
