Description of problem: static linkage doesn't work with binutils 2.6.20 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): binutils-2.20.51.0.2-20.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: Create a sample file and try to compile it with -static and -Wl,--export-dynamic flags. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a file with the following contents: int main(int argc, char **argv) { return 0; } 2. Run the following command: gcc -static -Wl,--export-dynamic test.c Actual results: /usr/bin/ld: dynamic STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol `strcmp' with pointer equality in `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.4/../../../../lib64/libc.a(strcmp.o)' can not be used when making an executable; recompile with -fPIE and relink with -pie collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Expected results: File compiles and links normally. Additional info: Reproduced both with Fedora 13 x86 and Fedora 13 x86_64. Reproduced when using gcc and gcc34 compilers. Here is the similar problem for Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=584607 Same scenario works fine on Debian lenny x86: $ gcc --version gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2 $ /lib/libc.so.6 GNU C Library stable release version 2.7, by Roland McGrath et al. $ dpkg-query -W binutils binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7
Works fine on Arch Linux x86_64 with the following: $ pacman -Q gcc glibc binutils gcc 4.5.0-6 glibc 2.12-2 binutils 2.20.1-3
--export-dynamic doesn't make sense in a static link.
FIY, the reason why strcmp is dynamic is described in http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20948.html section "Automatic use of optimized function".
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
