Most of these programs use BFD, the Binary File Descriptor library, to do low-level manipulation. Many of them also use the opcodes library to assemble and disassemble machine instructions. Note ==== This release still allows one to apparently use weak symbols (depending on exactly how you test for them), which however don't actually work on Windows nor Cygwin as they are unsupported by the loader. These symbols should always resolve as NULL, but since release 2.37 they sometimes don't. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28719 After further changes and bugfixes in this area a workaround that was identified earlier no longer has the desired effect and investigation into the real root cause is still ongoing. This change in behaviour triggered a latent bug in gnulib's detection of weak symbols for pthreads that leads to non-debuggable crashes of applications erroneously built with weak symbols. Either update gnulib (or at least threadlib.m4) or add export gl_cv_have_weak=no to the cygport (or set it as an environment variable during configure). -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
