Description Paul Thompson 2002-04-30 01:38:36 UTC

qpkg -fp libiberty.a
sys-devel/binutils-2.11.92.0.12.3-r2 *
sys-devel/gcc-2.95.3-r5 *

Unfortunately, the libiberty installed by gcc is incompatible with binutils.
A demonstration is to build ksymoops-2.4.5, which will result in
many missing symbols (gcc libiberty.a + binutils libbfd.a)
I havent tried to link anything else to these static libs to see if there
are other problems.

In my case, gcc happened to be emerged later than my binutils, overwriting
the binutils libiberty.a. I remerged binutils and was able to build
ksymoops. I think probably the gcc libiberty should not be installed.

Linking to the shared libbfd avoids this problem.

OK, removing libiberty.a from gcc-2.95.3-r6
