Bug#36139: linking error: undefined reference to `_fxstat'

[Joern Sesterhenn <Joern.Sesterhenn@lrz.tu-muenchen.de>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.1-0.2  


I have upgraded libc6 from  2.0.7.19981  to  2.1.1-0.2.
When I want to link with the NAG Fortran 90  library the linker does
not find _fxstat. (Which it did with the old libc6)

My test program is

program test
end program test

It compiles and produces a test.o with the following symbols:

$nm -s test.o
          U f90_finish
          U f90_init
 00000000 t gcc2_compiled.
 00000000 T main


The linker response is:

$ld  test.o -L$F_LIB -lf90  -lm
 ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 08048b90
 /usr/local/lib/F/libf90.a(open.o): In function `__NAGf90_open':
 open.o(.text+0xc77): undefined reference to `_fxstat'


The symbols from libf90.a concerning open.o are:
(Using nm -s libf90.a)

open.o:
         U _IO_stderr_
         U __NAGf90_Alloc
