llvm dev - Feb 2005 - [LLVMdev] Re: Patch to make gccld link native .so's, -rpath, -soname, and various assorted fixes

Hello,

I have a patch that:

1. Allows gccld to link shared libraries natively..
2. Passes along -rpath and -soname to the native linker...
3. Fixes a bug where the bytecode files were kept around after native 
linking...
4. Removes a now unnecessary warning for native linking...

The result is that we are >' '< close to having Qt4 both compile
*and* link
with the LLVM toolchain.

The small remaining hurdle has to do with undefined references that worked 
around inline assembly in Qt4 as well as a problem with generics in 
QTextCodecPlugin.

I've attached the Linker patch as well as the output of the linker (the 
undefined references) when linking uic to QtCore and QtXml.

Wow, cool! Mind if I ask what is motivating this work?

thanks -mike

Essentially, I am very interested in LLVM and want it to work with Qt4 as well 
as KDE.  I'm excited by the idea of using LLVM as the basis for a more 
rigorous language bindings solution.
