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?

Jose Fonseca
