We built a real simple test case.


When you run it, it crashes in __do_global_dtors_aux() on exit.
It only crashes when built on solaris-2.5.1 with 2.95.x; such execs crash on all other (eg. solaris 2.6, 2.7) platforms.

Building with other gcc compiler versions on other platforms still works.

Building with a cygnus 2.9 compiler on Sol. 2.6, generates an exec that doesn't crash on both 2.6 and 2.5.1; too bad we can't swith over to the other environment!

Any hints as to what we are doing wrong?

Here is a transcript of my build and run:

>How-To-Repeat:
I've attached the test case. On a 2.5.1 system, run make.
It will build the .o's, the shared object, do the link, and run the exec.
If it can't find the .so, set the env LD_LIBRARY_PATH to .
Then re-run. You should die in the destructors.
Make sure you are on 2.5.1 of Solaris. Also, just tried 3.0 of gcc. Same crash.

    No feedback in 3 months. The solaris problem is most likely due to
    a binutils/ld.so.1 one bug. Upgrade to at least binutils 2.13.1 and
    recompile gcc.

 With respect to GCC bug 5925;
 
 http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gcc&pr=5925
 
 I seem to be getting the same problem with gcc 2.95.2 on SCO OpenServer 
 5.0.6. It only occurs with our proprietary code and I can't seem to 
 replicate the problem using hello.tar.gz. Stepping through in GDB, the 
 segfault always occurs somewhere in the __do_global_dtors_aux of one of 
 our shared libraries.
