Package: llvm-dev Version: 1:7.0-47 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
as requested in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=631178 , it would be nice to provide a symlink for LLVMgold.so in /usr/lib/bfd-plugins . Gcc does it for their plugin (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=865690). It would let tools like nm, ar, etc understand LTO files automatically. /tmp $ clang e.c -flto -c /tmp $ file e.o e.o: LLVM IR bitcode /tmp $ nm e.o nm: e.o: file format not recognized [adding the symlink] /tmp $ nm e.o 00000000 T main -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages llvm-dev depends on: ii llvm 1:7.0-47 ii llvm-7-dev 1:7.0.1-4 ii llvm-runtime 1:7.0-47 llvm-dev recommends no packages. llvm-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
