Solaris redux

Tue Mar 27 08:53:00 GMT 2001

I'm struggling to get a good build on sparc-sun-solaris2.7. If this is
working for anyone else, I'd appreciate some hints.
Since the GNU binutils are failing for me (that's another mystery) I'm
trying to use the native as,ld. Libgcj compiles and links OK. Every
java program aborts however. Some of the static constructors in libgcj
are failing to execute.
I'm looking over Bryce's patch:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2001-01/msg00594.html
Any reason this hasn't been committed? It seems like a reasonable
idea to apply patches that will make libgcj more portable (and more
debuggable).
One problem with shared library initialization is that libgcj.so isn't
linked with libgcjgc.so and libzgcj.so. I fixed this in my local tree.
It didn't help the Solaris build, but might explain why sprof doesn't work
on libgcj.so.
I'm going to have to put this aside until later in the week.
