Dear Nick,
We've figured out what is going on with your "Hello World" pass
and
have implemented a temporary solution.
Basically, our build rules in Makefile.common built shared objects with
the Solaris linker (via libtool). While it built the shared library,
the library did not call C++ constructors of global variables. This, in
turn, caused the pass registration to fail.
Our temporary solution is to build shared objects directly with g++
(bypassing libtool). This gives the correct behavior.
The modification is checked into our CVS tree in the prerelease-10
branch. It has only gotten limited testing, so it should be considered
a temporary solution. To get the new Makefile.common, you can issue the
following command:
cvs update -r prerelease-10 Makefile.common
Please let us know if you have any more problems with the Hello World pass.
