[ELDK] ld.so.1 needed by libpthread.so.0 not found

[Ed Jubenville]

I have a very old project in maintenance mode, based on the IceCube board
built upon ELDK 3.1.1.  I am trying to move the development environment to a
new PC running SUSE Linux 3.11.6.  I installed the ELDK using the same ISO
image and instructions that I had used many years ago.  My application
compiled fine, but wouldn't link due to undefined references.  I found that
even a simple empty main() program would produce these errors:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

 

The libc.so.6 file is in the same folder as ld.so.1.

 

Ran "ppc_82xx-ldd   /opt/eldk/ppc_82xx/lib/libc.so.6" and it reported:

        ld.so.1 => /opt/eldk/ppc_82xx/lib/ld.so.1

 

Ran "ppc_82xx-ldd   /opt/eldk/ppc_82xx/lib/ld.so.1" and it reported no
dependencies.

 

After reading about similar problems, I tried compiling with "-shared", and
it fixed it.  Compiling my original application with "-shared" grows the
binary (stripped of debug symbols) from 7 MB to 11 MB. 

 

Is there another linker fix that wouldn't grow the application size?
