oskit/mach entropy trouble

[Debian User]

Hi!

I am having one hell of a time getting the entropy pool in oskit to
integrate with gnumach.  I've spent months(!) on this without making
any progress.  I really need some help.

The output of a GNUMach compile is at the end of this message.

I can build, eg, kernel-ide+ethernet_tulip without problems.  It's
only when I add "+entropy_random" that I get multiple defs of
osenv_sleep, etc.

I have spent a lot of quality time with the 'nm' command on builds of
oskit with and without the entropy pool changes and I have scrutinized
the output of kernel-ide+entropy_random+ethernet_tulip
vs. kernel-ide+ethernet_tulip to try to figure out exactly where the
dup syms are comming from.

Note that the error below mentions liboskit_dev.a .  This puzzles me
since I have made lots of changes to liboskit_linux_dev.a but few, if
any, to liboskit_dev.a .  I am surprised that liboskit_dev would be
affected.  Also, 'nm -a -S -td' output is the same for liboskit_dev.a
both on oskit builds with and without my entropy changes.

Also, does anyone know what is meant by the 'size' of a function
symbol?  Ie, "/usr/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `osenv_wakeup'
changed from 26 to 42 in
/usr/local/lib/oskit/../liboskit_dev.a(sleep.o)".  What does the size
mean?  Reading the ELF spec hasn't helped me with this, nor has
googling, nor has asking in #hurd at random times.

Also, what is the correct way for a host OS to override just a proper
subset of the functions in an oskit library?

I would very much appreciate any and all thoughts on this.  At this
point, I don't care if it's the most crazy suggestion ever.  I need
some external input, even the most hazy of ideas.

At this point I'm removing the guts of my oskit changes a little at a
time to see what finally fixes the dup syms.  This is slow going and
I'm not convinced it will even converge.  I have, of course, grep'ed
the living daylights out of my stuff and examined my oskit patch very,
very carefully, but that's not helped.  I fear that something
generated by the linux driver make process may be causing this and
that I don't understand that mechanism fully.  Or maybe it's in some
of the glue code that's generated (although I've examined the
generated code and it looks innocent).

I can go on and on here, but I'll stop now (finally!).  You can
replicate the problem by building OSKit/Mach from the CVS repositories
on savannah and including '+entropy_random' in the GNUMach make line.

Thanks,
Derek
