Christopher had a problem with configure link test file leftovers
spoiling following tests, with some PGI compiler:

and PGI compilers 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, on GNU/Linux, and
./configure CC=pgcc CFLAGS=-Mipa
Also, the manpages state that IPA files are named:
| file.ipa InterProcedural Analyzer (IPA) file
| file.ipo InterProcedural Analyzer (IPA) file
but I find neither of them lying around
Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to try the patch yet (maybe this
weekend). Indeed the manpage does not list the .oo files (maybe I'll
file a bug report aginst PGI). In my case I had a VSIPL library
compiled with IPA. When checking for it, this is when I got the
problem.
Here's a simple example that should show you the .oo files (PGI 6.1-6):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat test2.c
#include <stdlib.h>
double multiply(double x,double y)
{
return x*y;
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat test.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(void)
{
double z = multiply(2.0,3.0);
printf("%f\n",z);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pgcc -Mipa -Minform=inform -Minfo=all -c test2.c
PGC-I-0222-Redundant definition for symbol __THROW
(/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h: 62)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pgcc -Mipa -Minform=inform -Minfo=all test.c test2.o
test.c:
