OK, I think I've spotted the problem -- it doesn't like that .a files
reference variables in .o files.
fugl:~/dev/lto> cat a.cpp
int var;
fugl:~/dev/lto> cat b.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
extern int var;
int main(void)
{
printf("hello: %d\n", var);
}
fugl:~/dev/lto> g++-4.5 -flto -o a.o -c a.cpp
fugl:~/dev/lto> g++-4.5 -flto -o b.o -c b.cpp
fugl:~/dev/lto> ar rc libwhatever.a b.o
fugl:~/dev/lto> ranlib libwhatever.a
fugl:~/dev/lto> g++-4.5 -flto -fwhole-program -Wl,--gc-sections -o prog
-Wl,--start-group a.o libwhatever.a -Wl,--end-group
libwhatever.a(b.o): In function `main':
b.cpp:(.text+0xa): undefined reference to `var'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
If I put a.o into an .a file, it works. The order of a.o and libwhatever.a
doess not matter. Removing -fwhole-program fixes it.
This is a bug, right?
