$ nm -D libc-2.2.3.so | head

The identifier is there and so is atexit :(

$ nm -D libc-2.2.3.so | grep "atexit"
0002f120 T __cxa_atexit
0002f2dc T atexit

Perhaps this as to do with the downgraded binutils? I had to swap ld with Slackware 7.1's so that libclntsh.so would get created (it doesn't with 8.0's binutils).

I'm afraid that's what i'm going to have to do. Is it easy to tell the OUI to look for libc somewhere else than /lib? Received on Fri Jan 25 2002 - 07:12:17 CST
