------- Additional Comments From ovidr at users dot sourceforge dot net 2004-12-13 00:11 ------- I don't know that it is related to the specific patch, I just know that when I filed the general bug it was the time at which the app that I've been compiling for a year suddenly stopped being recognized as a valid app on win32 until 'stripped' of symbols.
The original problem was that all apps did not run (application error), due to the weak symbols patch. The secondary problem is that my app which I've been compiling fine for a year and with a previous 4.0 version of gcc no longer is recognized as a valid win32 .exe unless stripped. I'm not sure what else 'strip' does to the executable besides the removal of symbols, so I'm not sure how to track down this problem yet. Another generic swt app works fine without being stripped, so I'm still at a loss on how to target the problem. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18459
