Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #2 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- This is not a bug since you do -W,--exclude-libs,ALL . Basically if you link against a library which depends on the shared library version of one library; you can't link your main program just against the static library with `-W,--exclude-libs,ALL`. elf does NOT have multi-namespaces while linking (loading is a different story).
