Hello group,

I must resolve some DJGPP-specific symbols somewhere in Python so that
dynamic linking can start (hopefully) really working. The first step, I
believe, is to build a single .dxe with no unresolved symbols to isolate the
problem areas and what the DXE_EXPORT_TABLE needs to carry. The following
symbols cannot be resolved:

command:
dxe2gen zlibmodule.o -o zlibmodule.dxe -lz -lpython -ldl -lc -lgcc
dl-djgpp.o

output:
unresolved symbol `djgpp_first_dtor'
unresolved symbol `djgpp_last_ctor'
unresolved symbol `djgpp_last_dtor'
unresolved symbol `djgpp_first_ctor'
unresolved symbol `end'
unresolved symbol `__djgpp_selector_limit'

I must admit that dxe2gen seems very choosy about the *order* in which
specific libraries are called, and it may just be a problem which comes
first. I think djgpp_first_dtor & others should be in libc.a, but the linker
doesn't seem to see them...


Any ideas?
???
