[patches] Fwd: libc-nonshared dependency



This patch has been rejected by glibc.  ok for eglibc?

-------- Original Message --------
Subject: libc-nonshared dependency

This patch fixes a dependency problem exposed by building glibc with arm TLS
descriptors -- not just support for descriptors, using the descriptors
themselves.  Now that I have posted the gcc patch to use tls descriptors
(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-05/msg00708.html), this possibility arises.

The tls descriptors use __aeabi_read_tp directly, a nonshared function in
libc-nonshared.a. Arm-style tls uses __tls_get_addr, exposed by libc.so.  This
change causes a glibc build failure of libmemusage.so, as that doesn't mention
libc-nonshared.a.  This patch fixes that.

For non-arm non-tlsdesc ports, this change should have no effect, as of course
none of them can be referencing a nonshared function from libmemusage.so --
otherwise they'd also fail to build.

tested for arm-none-linux-gnueabi with tlsdescriptors both enabled and disabled
by default

ok?
