Re: [PING] Windows PECOFF weak symbol fixes for *-mingw32 and *-cygwin


Hi Aaron,

* The arm-wince-pe, arm-epoc-pe and mcore-pe targets do not build after applying this patch. This is because USE_UNIQUE is only defined


Are there simulators for these targets?

Yes and no ....


When running make check for
each of these targets, there are UNTESTED testcases, presumably because
they need a simulator:

And a compiler as well. If you are just building binutils and not GCC then these tests will be marked as UNTESTED. In fact this is probably the cause of these messages since very few linker tests actually attempt to execute any code.


The simulators in the sim/ directory are not sophisticated enough to emulate a full PE execution environment, and in particular they cannot handle the loading of DLLs. But they are sufficient to run simple test programs, such as might be generated by the binutils testsuite.

Cheers
  Nick
