Backward binary compatibility with libc/libm

2001-02-15 Thread Akinori MUSHA

Seems some 4.x/3.x binary that is linked with libm.so does not work on
5-CURRENT because libm.so is not properly associated with (the latest)
libc.so.

So, when a program lets libm refers to __stdout/__stderr from within,
it fails as follows. :(

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libm.so.2: Undefined symbol "__stderr"

Unfortunately, it applies to some important bits like JDK 1.1.8...

As a workaround, adding LDADD=-lc to src/lib/msun/Makefile seems to
do the trick and get it working.

Ideas, anyone?

Oops, obviously I missed the 'Major bumping of libFOO' thread.  Take
msun into account as well, thanks.

Do not use -current after 2000-02-10.  They are broken.  I'm working
with others to integrate a fix that doesn't break things like this.
I'll post something to -current and -arch when the buildworld finishes.

I had forgotten about msun :-(.  However, I think we're going to try
to do this without an interface change in libc that breaks things so
badly.
