#21148 [NEW]: collect2 error: ar related

From: gburnore@netbasix.net Operating system: SCO Openserver 5.0.5 PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: collect2 error: ar related For some reason, on OSR 5.0.5, the creation of the .a files creates a problem. It's easily fixed each time it occurs by running: ar -ts afilename.a and restarting the make. Is there a simple way to force it every time a .a file is created? Also, if I may, I'd like to offer login/space on an OSR5.0.5 system in case you folks need it to test/debug installs on OpenServer. The relevant part of the error. This may be a libtool issue. /bin/sh /local/src/www/php-4.2.3/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -I. -I/local/s rc/www/php-4.2.3/ -I/local/src/www/php-4.2.3/main -I/local/src/www/php-4.2.3 -I/ local/src/www/php-4.2.3/Zend -I/local/src/www/php-4.2.3/ext/mysql/libmysql -I/lo cal/src/www/php-4.2.3/ext/xml/expat -I/local/src/www/php-4.2.3/TSRM -g -O2 -o php -export-dynamic stub.lo libphp4.la ./.libs/libphp4.a: libelf error: elf_getarsym: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [php] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/local/src/www/php-4.2.3' -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21148&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21148&r=isapi
