Ah, thanks. I missed that one when reading through the common makefiles. 2011/11/10 5:16 -0800, robert.otten...@oracle.com: > I am also not entirely convinced that the new multiarch support is the reason > for these failures, although it may trigger it. Right. It may be that newer versions of gcc would show this problem even on a non-multiarch system, but it's not really worth investigating any further. I'll clarify the description in the bug report. > The specification for GNU ld > is > that dependencies on the link line should always be written left to right, > i.e. object files before library files.
