When binding c libraries, I often prefix a custom/unique Descriptive sequence for All linker visible symbols. So Eg you could do vanmach_zstdlib_ as a prefix On Tue, Jun 30, 2020 at 12:32 PM Jinwoo Lee wrote:

That’s a really good question! I guess one way to narrow it down is what’s the linker implementation on each env? I think you can arrange to use the same ld impl on bsd and Linux if you want, since both are elf platforms. Are they both doing dynamic or static linking? Are they using the same Ld implementation? It’s certainly strange to have there be a difference in behavior between two x64 elf platforms, On Thu, Jul 9, 2020 at 8:31 AM Vanessa McHale wrote:

Fair enough, I suppose what I don't understand is: why is this only happening on FreeBSD (in Vagrant)? I am able to compile on Linux, Mac, and Windows!

That’s a really good point about conditional compilation / cpp in the rts across platforms. On Thu, Jul 9, 2020 at 2:23 PM Brandon Allbery wrote:

I can think of a few more possibilities. Has anyone checked whether the RTS symbol is, say, conditional on non-glibc?
