Well, compiling and running a simple test programme that calls bfd_init() works here without linking in libz, so I guess that test wouldn't detect the dependency even if it actually runs the executable.
That's very mysterious. Perhaps bfd_init doesn't pull in anything that has the libz dependency,
That's what I think.
and you have to call some other function in the bfd library instead. Here's a fragment of code in the RTS that calls bfd functions:
bfd_init(); abfd = bfd_openr(name, "default"); if (abfd == NULL) { barf("can't open executable %s to get symbol table", name); } if (!bfd_check_format_matches (abfd, bfd_object, &matching)) { barf("mismatch"); }
calling bfd_openr alone produces tons of undefined references, I've no idea what libraries I'd have to link with also :(
