Bug ID: 15658
Summary: Support building glibc with -flto.
Product: glibc
Version: 2.18
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: build
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: carlos at redhat dot com
CC: carlos at redhat dot com
You can't build glibc with -flto.
glibc master is currently unbuildable with -flto because of:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15648
You should always see:
checking for .preinit_array/.init_array/.fini_array support... no
configure: error: Need linker with .init_array/.fini_array support.
This is because -flto throws out the .init_array support.
A potential fix is:
diff --git a/configure.in b/configure.in
index 8b11081..415e777 100644
--- a/configure.in
+++ b/configure.in

However, given that nobody has built with -flto it's going to require
considerable work to make it happen.
This is an enhancement.
