In any case, I think it's a bug in liboil, given that the -maltivec flag is
added during the altivec test, but not during the build phase, or am I
wrong?
I have somehow resolved the relocation issues that I described earlier
(Unsupported relocation type 10 in non-PLT relocations). There are only a
couple of functions that use that type of relocation, and they are both
assembler-optimized-altivec-version of memcpy and memset, so I axed them
out,
and got rid of those messages.
While the fix is pretty small (a line changed in a Makefile.am) it involves
rerunning automake. How should this be handled, making a big patch for all
the
files changed after the rerun of automake ?
(I know this is not exactly 'fixing' the problem, but it's what I can do
for
now, at least until I can get some advice from someone more expert, maybe
on
the liboil ml ).
