Aha! It GREATLY helps to have the latest binutils installed -
part of the problem was that the binutils-2.17.50.0.6-5.fc6 20061020
of FC-6 did not comprehend GLIBC's advanced ld(1) --version-script usage ;
another problem was that GLIBC's advanced GCC TLS requires a libgcc from
at least gcc-4.2.4 .
Couldn't the GLIBC build / configure script say something like :
"if [ $GCC_VERSION_NUMBER -le 4.1.0 ]; then
use_old_gcc_tls()
use_old_ld_version_script()
else
# do it the current way
fi
"
To suggest the above was all that was intended by reporting this "not-a-bug"
bug report - it is really more of the nature of a "request-for-enhancement"
and should probably have originally been so .
In any case, it really helps to keep track of this issue for my own records -
if someone else finds it useful, then all the better.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason
