Summary: gcc 4.0 produces corrupted shared library if it is statically linked with libstdc++ and etc. stuff
>g++ -v Using built-in specs. Target: sparc-sun-solaris2.9 Configured with: ../gcc-4.0.0/configure --prefix=/home2/anton/opt/gcc-4.0.0-noshared --with-gnu-ld --with-ld=/home2/anton/opt/bin/ld --with-gnu-as --with-as=/home2/anton/opt/bin/as --disable-libgcj --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-shared Thread model: posix gcc version 4.0.0 >uname -a SunOS solaris 5.9 Generic_117171-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 Source code of shared library: === q.cpp start === #include <stdio.h> extern "C" { void foo() { printf("sizeof(void*)=%d\n", sizeof(void*)); } } === q.cpp end === >g++ -m64 -fPIC q.cpp -shared -o libq.so >file libq.so libq.so: ELF 64-bit MSB dynamic lib SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped >ldd -Ur libq.so libm.so.1 => /usr/lib/64/libm.so.1 libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/64/libc.so.1 libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/64/libdl.so.1 /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Blade-100/lib/sparcv9/libc_psr.so.1 unreferenced object=/usr/lib/64/libm.so.1; unused dependency of ./libq.so unused object=/usr/lib/64/libm.so.1; member of cyclic group [1] Everything seems to be OK.

So the problem appears _only_ in 64 bit mode and _only_ when resulting shared library is statically linked. -- Summary: gcc 4.0 fails to statically link on Solaris SPARC 64 bit Product: gcc Version: 4.0.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: info at yourkit dot com CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21277
