--- Comment #3 from Marc Glisse <glisse at gcc dot gnu.org> --- man nm: "U" The symbol is undefined. "u" The symbol is a unique global symbol. This is a GNU extension [...] The program does run fine for me with exactly the same compiler on debian. How did it fail to run for you, with what error message?
