What do we do for previous GCC, which probably do not define _gcov_init (at least I guess, since things worked before)? We'll get a "unresolved symbol" in the kernel linking, I guess (unverified). It is possible, even if ugly, to $(NM) the relevant libraries to choose what to do, by adding a -D__EXPORT_GCOV_INIT_ (or even, if we know well, to indicate the GCC version needed for this). So, for now, I guess we must defer this to later than 2.6.11... > Here is the patch that I used to fix this: > > --- ntfs-2.6-devel/arch/um/kernel/gmon_syms.c.old 2005-02-14 > 11:27:04.789474410 +0000 +++ > ntfs-2.6-devel/arch/um/kernel/gmon_syms.c 2005-02-14 11:26:49.191117739 > +0000 @@ -8,6 +8,9 @@ > extern void __bb_init_func(void *); > EXPORT_SYMBOL(__bb_init_func); > > +extern void __gcov_init(void *); > +EXPORT_SYMBOL(__gcov_init); > + > /* > * Overrides for Emacs so that we follow Linus's tabbing style. > * Emacs will notice this stuff at the end of the file and automatically > > Best regards, > > Anton -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
