When I run a FORTRAN program, compiled with gcc 4.0, against libgfortran in gcc 4.1, I got
a.out: Symbol `_gfortran_ioparm' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking [EMAIL PROTECTED] 00000004]$ readelf -s /usr/gcc-4.1/lib/libgfortran.so| grep _gfortran_ioparm 636: 000688e0 252 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 23 _gfortran_ioparm 1617: 000688e0 252 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 23 _gfortran_ioparm [EMAIL PROTECTED] 00000004]$ readelf -s /usr/gcc-4.0/lib/libgfortran.so| grep _gfortran_ioparm 518: 00056740 240 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 23 _gfortran_ioparm 1005: 00056740 240 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 23 _gfortran_ioparm It is very bad since due to copy relocation, _gfortran_ioparm will only have 240 bytes at run-time.
