When setting NS_USE_GCC to 1 and not setting BUILD_OPT, and doing a "gmake
build_nspr" from mozilla/security/nss, I get the following link error :

Interestingly, these errors don't appear when setting BUILD_OPT to 1, which
makes me think this may be related to debug flags in some way.
I remember running into this problem before when I built
NSPR with gcc on Solaris 10.  I am surprised that you didn't
do NSPR debug builds with gcc until now :-)

My workaround was to not assemble os_SunOS.s.  There is nothing
we need in that file.
Wan-Teh,

I had done NSPR builds with gcc before, just not debug builds, so I never ran
into this problem ;)

If we don't need os_SunOS.s at all, can we just remove it from CVS and
configure/configure.in ? Or is it needed in some cases but not others ?

I removed os_SunOS.s from configure and configure.in, and built all 8 possible
combinations on sparc - OPT/DBG * 32/64 * gcc/studio .  All builds were successful.

I gather that this file is only needed for the legacy pre-POSIX "Solaris
threads" implementation. Am I correct this dead code, as is md/unix/solaris.c ?

My recommendation is that we drop it as well as os_SunOS.s, and remove the
reference to this from configure/configure.in .
Priority: -- → P2
Target Milestone: --- → 4.6.1
Among the functions defined in os_SunOS.s, only
sol_curthread is used, and it is only used by the
"_PR_GLOBAL_THREADS_ONLY" configuration.

Please try the follwing change in
mozilla/nsprpub/configure.in and configure:

from

    PR_MD_ASFILES=os_SunOS.s

to

    if test -n "$USE_NATIVE_THREADS"; then
        PR_MD_ASFILES=os_SunOS.s
    fi

Wan-Teh,

I just checked and these changes worked.
Summary: link error with gcc on Solaris in debug mode → link error with gcc on Solaris Sparc in debug mode
Please review and test this patch with 32-bit and 64-bit
SPARC debug builds.  No need to test AMD64 or x86 builds
or optimized builds.

I list os_SunOS_sparcv9.so before os_SunOS.s to imply that
os_SunOS_sparcv9.so is more important.

Proposed workaround

All 8 builds on Solaris sparc worked with these changes.

Thanks.  I checked in the patch on the NSPR trunk for NSPR 4.6.1.
