We can use "ld -r" to create a super .o for libc.a, which contains all
necessary pthread bits which must be included in a static pthread executable.

This should no longer be necessary. If there are remaining bugs, it's because
of incorrect usage of weak symbols, and those should be straightforward to fix
nowadays.

Glibc tests are needed to track it.

Backtrace:

Crash location:

   0x000000000040c639 <+233>:   lea    0xe0(%rbx),%rdi
   0x000000000040c640 <+240>:   call   0x0
=> 0x000000000040c645 <+245>:   mov    %rbx,%rdi

So this is a weak symbol.

Looking at the symbol table:

File: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/13/libgfortran.a(unit.o)
[…]
   102: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  WEAK   DEFAULT  UND __pthread_key_create
   103: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  WEAK   DEFAULT  UND

   104: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  WEAK   DEFAULT  UND pthread_mutex_unlock

pthread_mutex_trylock
   106: 0000000000000000     0 NOTYPE  WEAK   DEFAULT  UND pthread_mutex_lock

This is a GCC bug. It should not use weak symbols in static builds. Or dynamic
builds, but there it doesn't matter anymore since glibc 2.34. I think we
cleaned all this up for libstdc++, looks like we missed libgfortran.

No you missed all of libgcc.

Whereas the test cases from
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21777 and
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87189 work fine with recent GCC
and glibc.

[Bug nptl/5784] New: [RFC] Support static linking with -lpthread.

[carlos at codesourcery dot com]

Jakub suggests we use ld -r to build a libpthread.a that will conceivably work
with a static link (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33960#c9).

Should we do that?

Comments?
