Well here's a nice ten-liner that will undo the recent damage to HPUX
32 bit builds using HP's compilers/linkers;
+ cc -b -Wl,-B,symbolic,+vnocompatwarnings,-z,+h,libssl.sl.0.9.7 -o
libssl.sl.0.9.7 -Wl,-Fl,libssl.a -ldld
chmod: can't access libssl.sl.0.9.7
WTF is it about? Well, used to link using ld directly, now we are
passing through cc. But without splitting -Wl,-Fl from libssl.a with
a space, therefore without libssl.a as a link input, cc says "ha! nothing
to link" and -silently- goes away (leaving the user wondering, for hours,
what didn't just happen.) Yes, of course there is no libssl.sl.0.9.7.
Secondly, once we remove the space, we crash out with
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: CODE_ONE_SYM fixup to non-code subspace in file
/opt/langtools/lib/crt0.o - shared library must be position
independent. Use +z or +Z to recompile.
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/1999-March/msg00704.html reports
similar issues, with no resolution on how-to-exclude crt0.o from the 'cc'
flavor, so the patch proposes to go back to using ld as worked in 0.9.7e
and other releases.
Finally -b +s disappeared between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7i, for what reason I do
not know, but it certainly is needed on 32 bit builds. Now if the flag
interferes with the 64 bit ld/link loader, then perhaps these can go into
their own set of 32-bit flavor flags? immediately prior to -Fl? Discussion
welcome, I'm happy to play with the 64 bit flavor in about 2-3 weeks when
I'm back from ApacheCon.
