[LLVMdev] glod plugin use

[Swarup Kumar Sahoo]

Hi,
    I am giving more details about the commands which gave these errors below, which may be helpful in figuring out the problem.

>
>/home/vadve/ssahoo2/local/bin/ld: error: modules/standard/libstandard.a: no archive symbol table (run ranlib)
>/home/vadve/ssahoo2/local/bin/ld: error: modules/extra/libextra.a: no archive symbol table (run ranlib)
>/home/vadve/ssahoo2/local/bin/ld: error: main/libmain.a: no archive symbol table (run ranlib)
>....

I got these errors when build system was running the following command:

lvm-gcc -use-gold-plugin  -DLINUX=2 -DUSE_HSREGEX -DUSE_EXPAT -I./lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED -O4 `./apaci`   -o httpd buildmark.o modules.o modules/standard/libstandard.a modules/extra/libextra.a main/libmain.a ./os/unix/libos.a ap/libap.a regex/libregex.a lib/expat-lite/libexpat.a  -lm -lcrypt


When I replace llvm-gcc with the following ld -plugin command, I also get the same errors:

ld -plugin ~/local/lib/libLLVMgold.so -o httpd buildmark.o modules.o modules/standard/libstandard.a modules/extra/libextra.a main/libmain.a ./os/unix/libos.a ap/libap.a regex/libregex.a lib/expat-lite/libexpat.a  -lm -lcrypt
