Re: undefined reference when mixing a.out and ELF object files ?

Hi Vincent,

I finally managed to reproduce it !

Yay.

There was actually another important element: the problem occurs only when there is a stab warning in the a.out object file. I have been very unlucky, because I felt in that trap on my very first ELF test: I called the gets() function, which causes a linker warning in my libc because it is a dangerous function. Because of the bug the whole libc failed to link !

Which suggest a workaround - avoid all stabs warnings.

To be continued here:

OK, I will look at this next week.

Cheers
  Nick
