Description Jason Beardsley 2005-07-06 19:07:09 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050319

Description of problem:
Attempting to make a profiled executable results in a linker error.  (I have installed the glibc-profile package.)  I could find no library that provided the missing function (_dl_runtime_profile), I suspect it is internal to glibc but couldn't find it in the sources there, either.

> cat foo.c
int main() { return 0; }

> gcc -static -profile -g foo.c -o foo
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.0.0/../../../libc_p.a(dl-trampoline.op)(.text+0x4b): In function `_dl_runtime_profile':
: undefined reference to `_dl_profile_fixup'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.3.5-10

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See description


Additional info:

Comment 2 Ulrich Drepper 2005-07-07 02:40:02 UTC

Should be fixed upstream and be in the next rawhide release.

Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2005-07-10 20:27:14 UTC

Fixed in glibc-2.3.90-2.

Comment 4 Jason Beardsley 2005-07-12 19:00:43 UTC

Thanks.  Do you know if this update will eventually find its way to the FC4
updates?  (I'm assuming it may not be safe to install the updated packages
directly from rawhide.)
