Re: Binutils objcopy bug (was Re: rebase segfault)

rebase is not to blame. I agree ;-)
Someone else is incorrectly managing the reloc table,
and also objcopy seems innocent ...

Postgresql dll's are built in this way:

My strong guess is dllwrap. No other packages uses the ancient dllwrap anymore. I tried to get rid of it, but got stuck somewhere else.


Hi Reini, I agree dllwrap seems the coolprit, and "gcc -shared" seems a better alternative , at least on a single test with this dll.

I looked on the postgresql makefiles and it is a big mess to
replace dllwrap; upstream is crazy, they crippled configure
forcing a specific version and refusing to use Automake.

Autoconf+Automake will be a much cleaner approach, and will
allow to avoid at all the platform checks.

Could you make another check on 9.2.2 package before a new RFU

Thanks in advance
