Hi,
Although this worked for the cross build, when I built the native the
fact that the libgcj_la_LIBADD objects were placed in the
libgcj.objectlist file rather than on the commandline was a problem.
The end of the libtool piecewise linking command looked like this:
<cut>
threads.o ../libffi/ ../zlib/ ../boehm-gc/ gnu/regexp/MessagesBundle.properties.o
i686-pc-mingw32-ar: Warning: '../libffi/' is not an ordinary file
i686-pc-mingw32-ar: Warning: '../zlib/' is not an ordinary file
i686-pc-mingw32-ar: Warning: '../boehm-gc/' is not an ordinary file
i686-pc-mingw32-ranlib .libs/libgcj.a
<cut>
even though the libgcj.objectlist file contained the following at the
end:
<cut>
win32-threads.lo
../libffi/libffi_convenience.la
../zlib/libzgcj_convenience.la
../boehm-gc/libgcjgc_convenience.la
gnu/regexp/MessagesBundle.properties.lo
gnu/regexp/MessagesBundle_fr.properties.lo
<cut>
A magician got in the works and made the filenames disappear for some
reason (related to the use of "../" ?), so I'd recommend putting
libgcj_la_LIBADD on the commandline rather than in the call to
'write_entries_to_file'. This is how the Makefile in 3.4.1 worked
(perhaps for the same reason).
