Tracking Issue for raw-dylib on ELF #135694
Description
This is a tracking issue for raw-dylib on ELF (no RFC, extending RFC 2627)
The feature gate for the issue is #![feature(raw_dylib_elf)].
raw-dylib on ELF links against a generated stub shared object, allowing linking against libraries that are not present on the host system, for example for cross-compilation scenarios.
About tracking issues
Tracking issues are used to record the overall progress of implementation.
They are also used as hubs connecting to other relevant issues, e.g., bugs or open design questions.
A tracking issue is however not meant for large scale discussion, questions, or bug reports about a feature.
Instead, open a dedicated issue for the specific matter and add the relevant feature gate label.
Discussion comments will get marked as off-topic or deleted.
Repeated discussions on the tracking issue may lead to the tracking issue getting locked.
Steps
- Initial implementation (Support raw-dylib link kind on ELF #135695)

Assembly has no effect on the generated
.soraw-dylib file. Setting the symbol type correctly should be an easy fix.jethrogb commentedon Aug 25, 2025
