Hello, so it seems that I better remove the "-qvisibility=<setting>" completely for xlc (and not only for xlc12.1) ? (we currently compile only with XLC 12.1 , there might be more issues with 13.1 ) Best regards, Matthias > -----Original Message----- > From: Bhaktavatsal R Maram [mailto:bhama...@in.ibm.com] > Sent: Donnerstag, 26.
