some odd library loading errors

[u-uy74@aetey.se]

Hello,

The environment:
 Linux 3.# on x#86
 binutils 2.24
 musl 1.1.8 compiled for i486
 gcc 5.2.0

(the gcc has arch=i486 as the default)

No oddities were observed with the above until trying to use libatomic
which is provided by gcc-5.2.0.

The test case:

$ cat >a.c <<____
int main(){ return 0; }
____

$ gcc -o a a.c -L<path-to-gcc-5.2.0-libs> -latomic

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path-to-gcc-5.2.0-libs> ./a
Error relocating <path-to-gcc-5.2.0-libs>/libatomic.so.1: __atomic_store_8: symbol not found
Error relocating <path-to-gcc-5.2.0-libs>/libatomic.so.1: __atomic_exchange_8: symbol not found
Error relocating <path-to-gcc-5.2.0-libs>/libatomic.so.1: __atomic_load_8: symbol not found
Error relocating <path-to-gcc-5.2.0-libs>/libatomic.so.1: __atomic_compare_exchange_8: symbol not found

$

(No error if doing the same with e.g. -lgcc_s.)

Of course the symbols shown in the diagnostics *are* defined in the library.

When I look at the store_8_.o object file, I notice though that the
__atomic_store_8 is not "a function" even though the value is
the same as of select_store_8:

$ objdump -t store_8_.o

store_8_.o:     file format elf32-i386

I would appreciate help with finding out who is doing wrong:
- gcc
- ld
- musl
- myself
and what is to be corrected to make it work.

The actual practical problem is with the mesa library not being able
to load drivers which need symbols from libatomic, but this tiny test
case ought to be working, so it is not mesa who is at fault.
This does not either seem to involve lazy binding, which is otherwise
a known source of problems for mesa.

It looks like I can avoid the usage of libatomic with
 "gcc -fno-sync-libcalls"
but the behaviour seems wrong and I would rather see it fixed or otherwise
learn if I made an error.
