$ echo 'int main() {}' | gcc -o /dev/null -static -x c -
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-gnu/4.4.5/../../../libcrt.a(malloc.o): In function `_int_free':
(.text+0xdc3): warning: warning: madvise is not implemented and will always fail
This is correct, but it does confuse GNU Autoconf, for example, which then
thinks that static linking is not supported and sets a flag accordingly, which
luckly no / not many packages use.
*This call does not influence the semantics of the application (except in the
case of MADV_DONTNEED), but may influence its performance. The kernel is free
to ignore the advice.* (`man madvise`), so we may simply want to turn it into a
no-op in glibc, avoiding the link-time warning.
2011-07: This is what Samuel has done for Debian glibc.
