it is a hppa-specific issue that is being actively tackled by gcc upstream maintainers, but unfortunately the fix won't make it into woody. How to do this depends a bit on how your package works, usually something like this works with autoconf based packages. In debian/rules: DEB_BUILD_ARCH := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH) ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),hppa) CFLAGS="-g -O2 -ffunction-sections" else CFLAGS="-g -O2" endif and then run configure like this: CFLAGS=$(CFLAGS) ./configure --whatever-options-you-need you may need to use CXXFLAGS instead of CFLAGS for C++ packages. iirc, pike7 has the function-sections fix. you can use it as a reference. randolph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
