Re: testsuite, failures galore

calling bfd_openr alone produces tons of undefined references, I've no idea what libraries I'd have to link with also :(

Try -lbfd -liberty -lz ?

Thanks. That worked. Without a symlinked libbfd.so in /usr/lib, linking failed without -lz, programme successfully ran when linked with -lz; With a symlink, -lz wasn't even needed (and no undefined reference.. failures in the testsuite either). It seems the linker looks for libbfd.so first, if that isn't found, it falls back on libbfd.a which needs -lz. So basically, it's an openSuSE bug, I'd say. Nevertheless, having a test would be good. Unfortunately, looking at configure.ac and configure didn't give me any idea how to do it yet. Cheers, Daniel
