I am attempting to build a chunk of code from the open source world (Singular, a computer algebra system). In the course of the build, I get this failure (both PowerPC and Intel):

After R'ing TFM, I tried adding -single_module to LDFLAGS. That worked, AFAICT, but I'm not sure this is the correct fix.

That's an excellent fix. Everything should use -single_module...it's faster, for one. It's even the default when building for 64-bit. - multi_module is only necessary when you want to be able to override a set functions without having to override every function in the library. Libc builds with -multi_module for that reason, since it means that Malloc Debug and Guard Malloc only have to override the malloc functions.


Also, since Singular is an "autoconf" package, I think I need to add that flag in 'configure.in', where it sets up LDFLAGS during the config run.

So: is this the correct flag/fix, and the right place to change?

Changing configure.in is great, but to get the fix to be used in the build you'll also have to re-run autoconf to regenerate the configure file.
