re: PATCH: A symbol version bug

HJ,
   I built and installed a glibc with your latest libc-base patch...

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2003-05/msg00126.html

against a binutils with the bfd-base patch applied. The resulting
glibc passes make check fine. However I have noticed an oddity
on debian ppc sid with the original test case (which I added
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ to the Makefile to allow the binaries to run)...

when my system is unprelinked I get...

cc    -c -o new.o new.c
cc -Wl,-soname,libfoo.so,--version-script=foo.v -shared -o libnew.so new.o
cc    -c -o main.o main.c
cc -o new libnew.so main.o -Wl,-rpath,
cc -fPIC   -c -o old.o old.c
cc -Wl,-soname,libfoo.so -shared -o libold.so old.o
cc -o old libold.so main.o -Wl,-rpath,
ln -sf libnew.so libfoo.so
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ ./old
original_foo
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ ./new
new_foo
ln -sf libold.so libfoo.so
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ ./old
xyz
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ ./new
./new: ./libfoo.so: no version information available (required by ./new)
xyz

...which from what I gather in the mailing list is normal unbroken 
behavior for binutils and glibc. However when I am prelinked I get...

cc    -c -o new.o new.c
cc -Wl,-soname,libfoo.so,--version-script=foo.v -shared -o libnew.so new.o
cc    -c -o main.o main.c
cc -o new libnew.so main.o -Wl,-rpath,
cc -fPIC   -c -o old.o old.c
cc -Wl,-soname,libfoo.so -shared -o libold.so old.o
cc -o old libold.so main.o -Wl,-rpath,
ln -sf libnew.so libfoo.so
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ ./old
./old: error while loading shared libraries: ./libfoo.so: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0ffaf8f8 for symbol `printf' out of range
make: *** [all] Error 127

Any idea what this is all about?
                       Jack
