Symbols with hidden attribute in gc-7.2
Hi, I am working on several dependency packages with goal to package sagemath in fedora. But rawhide did update to gc-7.2 that now tags several functions as GC_INNER. The problem is that that breaks one of the sagemath packages, that is http://ecls.sourceforge.net/ I had an open bug report for ecl for another issue, but in the meantime I did upgrade to Fedora rawhide... The bug report was due to a dead lock in ecl and gc usage of signals to stop threads, see: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3526174&group_id=30035&atid=398053 I understand that ecls calls private gc functions, but would like to suggest to ecl upstream some alternative to correct problem. Thanks, Paulo
