25446 - duplicate symbols when building ../xpcom/build/libxpcom.so on AIX-4.3.2

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[Ciaran Deignan]

On AIX-4.3.2 the build of the shared object "libxpcom.so", using the 
"makeC++SharedLib_r" command fails due to duplicate symbols. Running the command 
manually with the "-bnoquiet" option gives the following detail:
ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .getter_Copies(nsXPIDLCString&)
ld: 0711-228 WARNING: Duplicate symbols were found while resolving symbols.
        The following duplicates were found:
 Symbol                    Source-File(Object) OR Import-File{Shared-object}
 ------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
 .getter_Copies(nsXPIDLCString&) nsComponentManager.cpp(nsComponentManager.o)
    ** Duplicate **        nsNativeComponentLoader.cpp(nsNativeComponentLoader.o
)
ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: getter_Copies(nsXPIDLCString&)
 getter_Copies(nsXPIDLCString&) nsComponentManager.cpp(nsComponentManager.o)
    ** Duplicate **        nsNativeComponentLoader.cpp(nsNativeComponentLoader.o
)

I do not believe that this problem was present in the M12 freeze...

Yes, this is a warning and there are more than just here.
Right now I am not too worried about them.  I have no
plan to fix these 'duplicates' but I will keep the bug
open (for now).

M16 has been out for a while now, these bugs target milestones need to be 
updated.

Comment 6

I would like to close this bug out.
While we are still getting some duplicate error messages,
my change to only export NSGetModule from all components
has helped reduced some of the warnings... and these are
just warnings.

Since the command doesn't fail, I am marking fixed.
