[Clfs-dev] configure: error: compiler support for visibility attribute is required

[Pierre Lorenzon]

Hi,

After reading many things about ld problems with respect with
the problem of visibility atribute I suspected binutils to be
responsible for the fail. Unfortunately even when downgrading
to binutils 2.21.1a the fail persists. So I should investigate
further. But if anyone can give me a good advice it would be
greatly appreciated !


Regards 

Pierre
