As described in GCC bug PR target/59788

	Mixing libc and libgcc_s unwinders on 64-bit Solaris 10+/x86 breaks EH
        http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59788

linking e.g. C++ code with -Wl,-Bdirect on 64-bit Solaris 10+/x86 causes
unwinding failures caused by mixing the libc and libgcc_s unwinders in a
single executable.

I've fixed this by a patch to cause every shared object to be linked
with a mapfile to force direct binding to the libgcc_s unwinder,
avoiding the harmful mixing.  Unfortunately, for this change to work
requires to disable the opt_duplicate_compiler_generated_deps
optimization (included in that patch for the copy of libtool in the gcc
tree):

diff --git a/ltmain.sh b/ltmain.sh
--- a/ltmain.sh

       # don't eliminate duplications in $postdeps and $predeps
       opt_duplicate_compiler_generated_deps=:
       ;;

I think that patch should go into upstream libtool as well, although
this won't help for all the copies of libtool already included in
released packages.  As described in the PR, I'm uncertain how to move
forward here.  Suggestions?

Thanks.
        Rainer

I took the liberty of writing a ChangeLog on your behalf.

Pushed, this will be in the incoming release as long as testing doesn't find
any issues.  Thanks.

Cheers,

Hi Gary,

I usually provide ChangeLog entries myself, but seeing there ins't a
ChangeLog in libtool anymore, I forgot to check the git log messages
instead.  Sorry about that.

Thanks for the quick turnaround.
