Package: libc6.1-dev Version: 2.3.2.ds1-13.0.1 Severity: normal Tags: experimental
Hi there, libc.a has objects with have multiply defined symbols. Is this the intention? I hope not, because it breaks the Intel C compiler's interprocedural optimization. Write a simple C program, try to build it with 'icc -ipo <test.c>' and you will see messages like: libc.a(read.o) : multiple definition of '__syscall_error_3' libc.a(open.o): first defined here libc.a(llseek.o) : multiple definition of '__syscall_error_3' libc.a(open.o): first defined here libc.a(write.o) : multiple definition of '__syscall_error_3' libc.a(open.o): first defined here libc.a(lc-ctype.o) : multiple definition of '_nl_postload_ctype' libc.a(lc-ctype.o): first defined here libc.a(lc-ctype.o) : multiple definition of '_nl_current_LC_CTYPE' libc.a(lc-ctype.o): first defined here libc.a(lc-ctype.o) : multiple definition of '_nl_postload_ctype' libc.a(lc-ctype.o): first defined here ... This looks bad. Not sure exactly when the regression occurred, but it hasn't been _that_ long (less than two or three months, I think). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: ia64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.5-rc2 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages libc6.1-dev depends on: ii libc6.1 2.3.2.ds1-13.0.1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii linux-kernel-headers 2.5.999-test7-bk-16 Linux Kernel Headers for developme -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
