All releases of GNU binutils prior to 2.11.2 have known bugs on this
|
||||
platform. We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.11.2 or the vendor
|
||||
tools (Sun @command{as}, Sun @command{ld}).
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, C++ shared libraries, including @samp{libstdc++}, won't work
|
||||
properly if assembled with Sun @command{as}: the linker will complain about
|
||||
relocations in read-only sections, in the definition of virtual
|
||||
tables. Also, Sun @command{as} fails to process long symbols resulting from
|
||||
mangling template-heavy C++ function names.
|
||||
Sun bug 4296832 turns up when compiling X11 headers with GCC 2.95 or
|
||||
newer: @command{g++} will complain that types are missing. These headers assume
|
||||
that omitting the type means @code{int}; this assumption worked for C89 but
|
||||
is wrong for C++, and is now wrong for C99 also.
|
||||
|
||||
@command{g++} accepts such (illegal) constructs with the option
|
||||
@option{-fpermissive}; it
|
||||
will assume that any missing type is @code{int} (as defined by C89).

There are patches for Solaris 2.6 (105633-56 or newer for SPARC,

106248-42 or newer for Intel), Solaris 7 (108376-21 or newer for SPARC,
