Bug ID: 28884
Summary: librt.a is empty, librt.so does not exist. NEWS
worthy?
Product: glibc
Version: 2.35
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: librt
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: slyich at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
When packaging glibc-2.35 I noticed that librt.a is (intentionally) empty and
librt.so does not exist. Took me some time to debug perl build failures.
glibc-2.34 had a NEWS entry that explains why empty libraries are left inplace:
```
...For backwards compatibility,
empty static archives libpthread.a, libdl.a, libutil.a, libanl.a are
provided, so that the linker options keep working...
```
Worth adding a NEWS item about librt.a retroactively to 2.35 section as well?
