Description Jochen Schmitt 2008-09-21 19:08:25 UTC 
When I try to build ksplice agains rawhide, I will got the following error messages in the configure script (config.log):

configure:3509: checking for bfd_openr in -lbfd
configure:3544: gcc -o conftest -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic   conftest.c -lbfd  -liberty  >&5

For reproduce the issue please download http://www.herr-schmitt.de/pub/ksplice-0.9.0-1.fc9.src.rpm and try to build it agains rawhide. On F-9 its works fine.

Patch posted to <ksplice>.

Fix of ksplice to explicitely check zlib.
Comment 2 Jan Kratochvil 2008-09-22 00:18:14 UTC 
Thanks for the report, this workaround should fix it up for any 3rd party packages:
* Sun Sep 21 2008 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil> 2.18.50.0.9-3
- Provide libbfd.so and libopcodes.so for automatic dependencies (BZ 463101).

/usr/lib64/libbfd.so:
/* GNU ld script
   The libz dependency is unexpected by legacy build scripts.  */

INPUT ( /usr/lib64/libbfd.a -liberty -lz )
Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2008-09-22 07:11:50 UTC 
When you use absolute paths in the script, please also add OUTPUT_FORMAT
directive, like e.g. /usr/lib*/libc.so uses:
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf64-x86-64)
etc., so that things work well even if you build gcc -m64 -L/usr/lib/ -lbfd
or gcc -m32 -L/usr/lib64/ -lbfd.
Comment 4 Jan Kratochvil 2008-09-22 10:45:42 UTC 
Jakub, thanks, I did not read it all in glibc as I see, fixed/imported.

* Mon Sep 22 2008 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil> 2.18.50.0.9-4
- Fix *.so scripts for multilib linking (BZ 463101, suggested by Jakub Jelinek).

This breaks package which has 
 BuildRequires:  binutils-devel
but doesn't have
 BuildRequires:  zlib-devel
even if it doesn't really need libz.

One example is avarice.
Should I file a new Bug as avarice package ?
Comment 6 Jan Kratochvil 2008-10-30 08:10:23 UTC 
Committed, built binutils-2.18.50.0.9-6.fc10, thanks:
* Thu Oct 30 2008 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil> 2.18.50.0.9-6
- binutils-devel now requires zlib-devel (BZ 463101 comment 5).

%package devel
Requires: zlib-devel
