Summary: linking shared library with LTO results in different exported symbols Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: lto AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: zeev.taran...@gmail.com The library is libpci.so.3.1.7, released 2010-01-31, part of every linux distro. Homepage is: http://mj.ucw.cz/pciutils.html, source repository is: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=utils/pciutils/pciutils.git;a=shortlog Object files compiled with CFLAGS: "-O2 -fPIC -Wall -Wno-parentheses -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -flto".
