Description Elliot Lee 2004-03-12 21:46:09 UTC 
Rebuilding the 'parted' package on ppc64 fails. gcc complains a bunch,
and then we see lines such as:

/usr/bin/ld: BFD 2.14.90.0.8 20040114 assertion fail
../../bfd/elflink.c:2275

See ~sopwith/rebuild/logs/parted*ppc64*.log for the whole spiel.
Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2004-03-15 17:34:55 UTC 
This is primarily bug on parted's part.  -Wl,-static is terribly wrong
and so is -Wl,-lc.  Instead of -Wl,-static it should pass -static
to the compiler, gcc links things different for -static and !-static.
If -Wl,-static is used, this is hidden to the compiler driver and bad
things happen.  And why that -Wl,-lc in there?  gcc driver puts -lc
by default at the right place on the link line...
