Description Orion Poplawski 2022-06-11 02:59:57 UTC

Description of problem:

When building cgnslib for EL9:

/usr/bin/gcc -O2 -flto=auto -ffat-lto-objects -fexceptions -g -grecord-gcc-switches -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -fstack-protector-strong -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1  -m64 -march=x86-64-v2 -mtune=generic -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection -std=gnu99 -DNDEBUG -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--as-needed  -Wl,-z,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 CMakeFiles/calcwish.dir/calctcl.c.o CMakeFiles/calcwish.dir/calcwish.c.o -o calcwish  ../calclib/libcalclib.a /usr/lib64/libtcl.so /usr/lib64/libtk.so /usr/lib64/libhdf5.so /usr/lib64/libX11.so -lm ../../libcgns.so.4.3 -ldl /usr/lib64/libhdf5.so 
/usr/bin/ld: calc.c.o (symbol from plugin): undefined reference to symbol 'reference@@LIBXML2_2.4.30'
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

reference is a variable defined in libcaclclib.a (as well as a versioned symbol in libxml2).  This is appears to be the following upstream bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27311

Using -fuse-ld=gold as mentioned there seems to fix the link as well.
