Comment (by felixs):
i have now seperated the patches from gap upstream source (for
convenience) and also moved to objcopy instead of using an ld script. also
i've replaced the manually created libGAP_-headers by a modified
GAPify.py. and the related doctests eventually pass.
it's really difficult to simplify this any further -- other than drop
libgap compatibilty and then get rid of the prefixing. (I should have done
it like that, but I didn't know better).
Replying to [comment:18 vbraun]:
> A similar approach would be to use the objcopy utility from the GNU
binutils to rename symbols in object files, but that is not portable to
OSX either.
if objcopy doesn't work for OSX, there must be some alternative. all that
is required is the --redefine-syms functionality. here, e.g. somebody
claims that an ld will cut it:
