[oe] Undefined reference to '__init_array_end' and '__init_array_start'

[Andreas Nagel]

Hello,

I am trying to bitbake the packages from the 'meta-ti' layer. As I am 
using DMAI in my application, I just bitbake 'ti-dmai' and it will also 
build all its dependencies. At some package, the build fails at the 
linking stage. Depending on the versions of these packages, it's always 
another package that fails to link but always with the same error:

--------------------
... libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS): In function '__libc_csu_init':
.../elf-init.c:123: undefined reference to '__init_array_end'
.../elf-init.c:123: undefined reference to '__init_array_start'

.../ld <file>: hidden symbol '__init_array_end' isn't defined

../ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
--------------------

The complete log of this error is attached as 'error.txt'.
Somehow these symbols cannot be resolved during linking. Somethings 
probably missing.

--> How can I resolve this problem?


Some more information:

The standard versions (see standard.txt) of the TI packages that come 
with OE can be built successfully, but the performance in my application 
is bad.

Before that, I used the TI stuff from their DVSDK. Performance was good 
with that. So I modified the recipes, to get those versions (see 
dvsdk-4_01.txt) in OE and check performance again. All packages except 
DMAI built fine, but when it came to building the example applications 
of DMAI, it failed with the above error. As my application is similar to 
these examples, it will probably also fail to build.

Recently, there was DVSDK v4.03 released. It was updated to 2.6.37 
kernel along with some packages. Tried to get those versions (see 
dvsdk-4_03.txt) into OE but the error appeared much earlier this time. 
Something is definetly not right here.

We use OE with Angstrom distribution v2012.05, eglibc 2.12 and Linux 
kernel 2.6.37. Maybe these don't match together quite well... ?

I hope, someone can help. It'll be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Andreas
