I recently started getting the following error when building the trunk on Mac OS X Leopard: ld: atom sorting error for .LFE1 and .ffi_call_SYSV_end in build/temp.macosx-10.3-i386-2.6/Users/skip/src/python/trunk/Modules/_ctypes/libffi_osx/x86/x86-darwin.o I tried rm'ing my build directory then rerunning configure. Same result. Here's the make output after simply removing all '*ctypes*' files from the build directory: % find build -name '*ctypes*' | xargs rm -r % make running build running build_ext building '_ctypes_test'

I see this also, on Leopard x86. The linker error is not printed on Tiger PPC. At least, the ctypes test suite does work ok so it may be that it can be ignored. Googling for this error, I find that it may be related to linker changes that Apple has made. One suggestion I found was to link with ld_classic instead of ld; another was to pass the -dynamic flag instead of -bundle. However, I do not known how this can be done in setup.py. The libffi sources in Python svn were copied from the PyObjC sources; maybe Ronald has a clue?

I'm pretty sure I get the same error when building PyObjC. It seems to be a harmless warning though, PyObjC passes all its unittests and those really exercise all of libffi.

So closing this as won't fix.
