gcc (4.1) hardcodes both -lssp and -lssp_nonshared when -fstack-protector is passed. Instead of letting the linker decide on whether you are using libssp.so and libssp.a they felt the need to explicitly identify them as different. My approach was to use the patch below and rename lib/libssp_nonshared.a to lib/libssp.a so that if for any reason I needed libssp.a (such as gcc -static) I would be able to do such and the linker would know what to do. gcc-4.1.1-no_static_ssp-1.patch: http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/hlfs-dev/attachments/20060616/6736bfa4/attachment-0001.bin -- Kevin Day -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
