I told you so :) > I recompiled all of source files with -ffunction-sections and > -fdata-sections. This couldn't possibly fix your problem: the functions *are* used by some executables, so they must be part of the DSO. You are trying to program by coincidence: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=31538&rl=1 instead of taking the time to understand the problem. > When make got to linking against static libraries, > the linker died with the following message: > > /usr/bin/ld: BFD 2.15.92.0.2 20040927 internal error, aborting at > ../../bfd/elf32-i386.c line 2262 in elf_i386_relocate_section > /usr/bin/ld: Please report this bug. Well, you've found a bug in BFD. In order to report this bug, you'll need a reduced test case (which so far you've resisted producing :( > Is there anything else that you can advise me to do to make the .so > libraries run? Yes: spend the time producing a small test case, so we can all understand the problem. Once the problem is understood, the solution will likely trivially follow. It's usually not that difficult to make a small test case: Begin with "int main() { return 0; }", linked against one of the libraries you are having problems with (let's call it foo.so). Does this fail? If yes, re-link foo.so, eliminating some of the objects from it. Continue removing objects until it starts to run. Reduce the problem to a single "problem" object. Now reduce the problem more by eliminating parts of the object (by removing parts of source). I expect you'll have a trivial test case in under an hour. If no, your entire premise is suspect: you said you didn't call into functions that need the missing callbacks, but clearly you need to call *something* from foo.so to trigger the failure. In this case, you'll want to run your exe under debugger, set a breakpoint on _dl_signal_error() and see what stack trace triggers that breakpoint.
