There are two problems: 1.) Unsatisfied code symbol '__cxa_finalize' in load module gcc-4.1.0 compiles __cxa_finalize into shared libs as weak symbol (4611686018427425864| 4|FUNC |WEAK |0| .text|__cxa_finalize), gcc-4.1.1 doesn't (0| 0|FUNC |GLOB |0| UNDEF|__cxa_finalize). That's a problem for Python because it loads modules at runtime.
To solve this problem John David Anglin suggested the following patch which forces the linkage of __cxa_finalize into main: Index: config/pa/pa64-hpux.h =================================================================== --- config/pa/pa64-hpux.h (revision 115902) +++ config/pa/pa64-hpux.h (working copy) @@ -33,7 +33,8 @@ %{!shared:%{pg:-L/lib/pa20_64/libp -L/usr/lib/pa20_64/libp %{!static:\ %nWarning: consider linking with `-static' as system libraries with\n\ %n profiling support are only provided in archive format}}}\ - %{mhp-ld:+Accept TypeMismatch -z} -E %{mlinker-opt:-O} %{!shared:-u main}\ + %{mhp-ld:+Accept TypeMismatch -z} -E %{mlinker-opt:-O}\ + %{!shared:-u main %{!nostdlib:%{!nodefaultlibs:-u __cxa_finalize}}}\ %{static:-a archive} %{shared:%{mhp-ld:-b}%{!mhp-ld:-shared}}" #else #define LINK_SPEC \ @@ -43,7 +44,8 @@ %{!shared:%{pg:-L/lib/pa20_64/libp -L/usr/lib/pa20_64/libp %{!static:\ %nWarning: consider linking with `-static' as system libraries with\n\ %n profiling support are only provided in archive format}}}\ - %{!mgnu-ld:+Accept TypeMismatch -z} -E %{mlinker-opt:-O} %{!shared:-u main}\ + %{!mgnu-ld:+Accept TypeMismatch -z} -E %{mlinker-opt:-O}\ + %{!shared:-u main %{!nostdlib:%{!nodefaultlibs:-u __cxa_finalize}}}\ %{static:-a archive} %{shared:%{mgnu-ld:-shared}%{!mgnu-ld:-b}}" #endif 2.) python aborts on exit __deregister_frame_info_bases aborts at the gcc_assert here: __gthread_mutex_unlock (&object_mutex); gcc_assert (ob); I try to debug this a little bit further. -- Summary: Unable to build Python Product: gcc Version: 4.1.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: r dot emrich at de dot tecosim dot com GCC build triplet: hppa64-hp-hpux11.00 GCC host triplet: hppa64-hp-hpux11.00 GCC target triplet: hppa64-hp-hpux11.00 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28821
