-profile

[Mike Castle]

I've noticed that trying to build an app with -profile fails if you try to
link in a shared library.  I'm trying to determine if this is an
unsupported configuration, a bug with binutils, a bug with glibc, or if I
just have a broken system some how.

address@hidden:53pm]~(504) cat a.c
int main (void){ return 0; }
address@hidden:53pm]~(505) gcc -profile -lcrypt a.c  <-- this goes into an
endless loop in ld 

address@hidden:55pm]~(506) gcc -profile -lcrypt_p a.c
1.300u 2.920s 0:21.90 19.2% 0+0k 0+0io 1195pf+0w
address@hidden:56pm]~(507) gcc -profile -static -lcrypt a.c
1.170u 2.740s 0:15.09 25.9% 0+0k 0+0io 1136pf+0w


Linux 2.4.2
glibc 2.2.2 built against 2.4.2
gcc 2.95.3
binutils 2.11, 010423, 2.11.90.0.{5,6,7}

Any suggestions?

mrc

PS:

Oh bloody hell:

address@hidden:03pm]~(513) cat a.cc
int main (void){ return 0; }
address@hidden:03pm]~(512) g++ -profile a.cc

So I'm guessing probably not a libc issue.  But just want to verify...
