Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: slibtool_tinderbox) System: SLIBTOOL-SYSTEM (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Tinderbox/Common_Issues_Helper#SLIBTOOL) Info about the issue: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Tinderbox/Common_Issues_Helper#CF0015

Error(s) that match a know pattern: FAIL: abs FAIL: copy FAIL: dso_check FAIL: md5 FAIL: md5_profile FAIL: zigzag cmp: liboilarray.c: No such file or directory grep: .libs/liboiltmp1.exp: No such file or directory
Weird issue, some tests when using liboil-0.3.so.0 built by GNU libtool work, but if the library is built with slibtool they segfault. This is true even when the test itself was built by slibtool. My first suspect is that liboil uses -export-symbols-regex which is not yet supported in slibtool, but will be soon so lets try again then. See: https://dev.midipix.org/cross/slibtool/issue/61
Slibtool now has -export-symbols-regex, but unfortunately this still doesn't work. After further investigation I believe the real issue is that slibtool fails to add many object (.o) files to the liboilfunctions.a convenience library which are specified in liboilfunctions_la_LIBADD.
New upstream slibtool issue: https://dev.midipix.org/cross/slibtool/issue/62
Actually I was correct with my first suspicion that liboil required -export-symbols-regex to be implemented, but I missed a crucial detail. During the build liboil will generate liboilarray.c by grepping .libs/liboiltmp1.exp, but this file is a GNU libtool temporary file used during the creation of the LD version script and is not logic that slibtool requires so it was missing even after -export-symbols-regex was implemented. This file is now created for compatibility purposes and the liboil tests work with slibtool-9999.

The addition of -export-symbols and -export-symbols-regex will allow exporting only the desired public symbols globally in any package that uses them.
