[LLVMdev] Problem compiling with clang + gold plugin: no archive symbol table

[ryan]

Thanks for replying!
I didn't install the new binutils to system directory in case it messes
thing up.
For ranlib, from the error message, it seems to be the reason. But even I
export
RANLIB=/bin/true, clean the code and rebuild, it still fails with the same
message.
I created a symlink in /usr/lib/bfd-plugins as suggested in
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2010-March/030101.html.
Still it doesn't work..
Really have no idea what to try next.


Best regards,
Ryan
