Re: [PATCH] Fix sunrpc static library

+#ifdef LINK_OBSOLETE_RPC

Two spaces after the sentence. I'd say:


/* Export the symbol for both static and dynamic linking. */

+/* Export symbol only in shared libc. */

Two spaces here too. And I'd say:


/* Export the symbol only for shared-library compatibility. */

(The point being that it's not just that it's usable in the static library,
but also that it will have a default symbol version binding.)

thanks for the review.


Hmm.  Arguably this should be in shlib-compat.h instead, since
compat_symbol is only there.

I can move it, if you think this is better. strong_alias is defined in libc-symbols and that code has already some defines similar to this one. Do you prefer shlib-compat.h? I don't see a better place - unless we create a new include file just for this case which seems overkill to me,
