[Bug bootstrap/44079] New: Bootstrap error about elf_getshdrstrndx when configure script does not detect elf_getshdrstrndx

Configure Script does not detect elf_getshdrstrndx

<checking for elf_getshdrstrndx... no>

But still tries to use it in stage 2 bootstrap and gives error,

../../trunk/gcc/lto/lto-elf.c: In function 'validate_file' :
../../trunk/gcc/lto/lto-elf.c:539:3:error: implicit declaration of
function 'elf_getshdrstrndx' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Could you please provide some more details, please: what system are you running
on, what version of libelf is in use?

And please provide config.log and configure output from the toplevel and from
the gcc subdirectory, together with gcc/auto-host.h.

[Sandy@Sandy ~]$ uname -r
2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE

Currently, I am unable to reproduce the configure output since now I am working
with elfutils-libelf-devel-0.145-1 which, it seems, has fixed the problem.
Earlier, I was using elfutils-libelf-devel-0.140-1 which came installed with
the distro.
I also had libelf 0.8.13 on my system at the time of this bug but that was
insufficient to resolve the bug. 

Maybe Mike can reproduce the configure and config.log output.

Hi, I am currently unable to reproduce the output due to a changing 
configuration as well.  I may be able to do it but it won't be for at 
least another three days.

My apologies,
Mike

This was fixed fully by not depending on libelf and writing our own simple elf
reader.
