Re: [uclibc-ng-devel] Undefined reference to name_to_handle_at while building eudev - devel

28 Feb 2018

Hi,

this time it is only relevant to aarch64, as I imported it from glibc
without recognizing that I should have removed it.

best regards
 Waldemar

 I noticed a failure while compiling eudev against uClibc-ng 1.0.28 on 
 aarch64: it detected name_to_handle_at being declared in the header but 
 then failed to link because it is not implemented in uClibc-ng.

 Patch attached.  
 A quick heads up on this: it is by far not the first time that I see
 uClibc headers having the prototype for a given function, and not the
 actual implementation of this function.

 It is confusing, and sometimes causes problems when just an autoconf
 compile test is done, and not an autoconf link test.

 Shouldn't this be fixed globally ?
