• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED FIXED

[Description Philippe Trottier (RETIRED) 2004-05-31 11:18:28 UTC]

I have some troubles since I upgraded binutils-2.15.90.0.3 and binutils-2.15.91.0.

gcc is 3.4.0-r5
glibc is 2.3.3_pre20040529

From tgall: this line misses the -shared ... Now tryiing to find how this thing libperl is making the makefile in the first place. then patch it.

As it turns out these two are related

fix for bug #51617 commited .. this one should be better now

[Comment 4 Philippe Trottier (RETIRED) 2004-05-31 22:44:37 UTC]

this patch should do it, made for libperl-5.8.4, this is just an ugly swing in the the dark, it might break other stuff too ...

The problem originated in coreutils... -splat- close the coffin !
