[Elftoolchain-developers] Questions about building

[S. B. Y. <bha...@or...>]

Hi,

First, apologies, if the following are newbie questions.

1. I attempted to build elftoolchain on Ubuntu and get the following 
kinds of warning-triggered errors for ac_detect_ar, archive_read_finish, 
ac_read_objs, ac_write_objs and archive_write_finish

archive.c: In function ‘ac_detect_ar’:
archive.c:353:2: error: ‘archive_read_support_compression_none’ is 
deprecated (declared at /usr/include/archive.h:323) 
[-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
   archive_read_support_compression_none(a);
   ^
Is this known? What is the recommended way to address this build problem?

2. I stubbed out build of ar and elfcopy which are resulting in the 
above build failures to build the rest of the tools - as I am just 
interested in libelf, for now. When I run 'pmake 
DESTDIR=/full/path/to/destdir/' I only see libelf.a but not libelf.so. 
Is there a way to get the build to create the .so?

Thanks,
