Maybe I'm missing something, but we certainly need .so, as many projects emit libraries in that format (and .dll for windows I suppose). Also, not sure we should add .bc to the list, if it hasn't been a problem in practice until now.
Or is the point to look for lib* first instead of *? That sounds reasonable if that is how native toolchains work. - Alon On Wed, Jul 2, 2014 at 5:29 AM, Jukka Jylänki <[email protected]> wrote: > I can reproduce this locally.
