I've just stripped the debugging info of XFree86 Version 4.1.99.1 (DRI mach64 branch) so that I wouldn't have to recompile everything just for cut down the file sizes (to send to someone who was limited and space and bandwidth to test), but the Xserver failed to load the libGLcore.a:
(II) Loading sub module "GLcore" (II) LoadModule: "GLcore" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6-DRI/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a No symbols found in this module Failed to load debug_xform.o (EE) Failed to load /usr/X11R6-DRI/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a (II) UnloadModule: "GLcore" (II) UnloadModule: "glx" (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6-DRI/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (a required submodule could not be loaded, -1073744008) All the modules that I provided to were stripped and only this particular library failed because replacing it for the non-stripped version solved the problem. >From what I've seen when peeking aroud in the Xpert mailing list and in the RHL XFree86 4.1.0 spec it's not safe to strip modules. It seems that the XFree86's module loader has some problems in loading stripped modules in certain architectures. Is this correct? But if it is so why only libGLcore.a failed to load?
