[Q28] ``After upgrading to a glibc 2.1 with symbol versioning I get
errors about undefined symbols. What went wrong?''
[A28] {AJ} In a versioned libc a lot of symbols are now local that
have been global symbols in previous versions. When defining a extern
variable both in a user program and extern in the libc the links
resolves this to only one reference - the one in the library. The
problem is caused by either wrong program code or tools. In no case
the global variables from libc should be used by any program. Since
these reference are now local, you might see a message like:
"msgfmt: error in loading shared libraries: : undefined symbol: _nl_domain_bindings"
The only way to fix this is to recompile your program. Sorry, that's
the price you might have to pay once for quite a number of advantages
with symbol versioning.
