[cfe-dev] export symbol names with leading underscore

[Glenn Ganz]

Hi

I'm working on the cocotron project. i try to make cocotron "clang"-ready.

I use clang as cross compiler (On OS X for Windows) and  bintuils as linker (via gcc). 

i got some linking erros like "Cannot export _strnstr: symbol not found"

i analyzed the problem. When you take a look into the object files you see the problem.

the object file from gcc has no leading underscore in the export name.

Is there an option for clang to produce the export names without leading underscores?

Thanks
