Hello, we're currently following a bug with a special system setup where we need to run a special version of the Intel C++ compiler (icc) and binutils together. The setup is as following:
- Suse Linux "SLES9 (SP1)" - Hardware: Dual-Xeon x86 - icc 8.0 - binutils 2.15.90.0.1.1 Due to a bug in binutils in this version which is reported here http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2004-10/msg00123.html shared libraries cannot be build and used under certain circumstances. This bug has been reported to Intel (see http://www.intel.com/support/performancetools/c/linux/sb/CS-022753.htm for details) but obviously this is due to the above described problem in the ld tool. I tried to use a newer version of binutils (2.15.94 wich comes as part of a SLES upgrade to SP3 and a freshly self compiled 2.16.1) but both version now show me the following error when trying to compile a shared library: "-static and -shared may not be used together" I forced the compiler to show the link command which looks like that: /usr/bin/ld /usr/lib/crti.o /opt/intel_cc_80/lib/crtxi.o -shared --version-script /opt/intel_cc_80/lib/icrt.internal.map -o .objs/libExceptionTest.so .objs/testExLib.o -L . -Qy -L/opt/intel_cc_80/lib -L/usr/lib -Bstatic -limf -Bdynamic -lm -Bstatic -Bdynamic -lcprts -lcxa -lunwind -Bdynamic -Bstatic -lirc -Bdynamic -lc -Bstatic -lirc /opt/intel_cc_80/lib/crtxn.o /usr/lib/crtn.o I don't understand the problem at all. "-shared" means to create a shared library. On the other hand "-Bstatic" means to link a library statically into the target. On my oppinion (sorry, I'm only an application developer <g>) these two things are different issues what is the reason they can't work together? And finally: Until 2.15.90 it worked and only from 2.15.94 and above this seems to be "broken". Thanks a lot in advance, Soeren Gerlach --------------------------------------------- Quanteam GbR Partners: Dr. Bernd Engelmann, Soeren Gerlach Basaltstrasse 28 D-60487 Frankfurt _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
