illumos gate

with ports of 3rd party userland apps we can see lib.map files with comments:

/*
 * comment1
 * comment2
 */

GNU LD works as well with comments, but illumos ld failed.

example:

root@z165:/rws1/users/root/du2/components/6# cat t1.c

int stub1(void)
{
        return 0;
}

root@z165:/rws1/users/root/du2/components/6# cat t1.map
/*
 * one line
 * two line
 */

VER_1 {
        local:
                *;
};

root@z165:/rws1/users/root/du2/components/6# gcc -fPIC -o t1.o -c t1.c

root@z165:/rws1/users/root/du2/components/6# gcc -shared -h t1.so.1 -o t1.so.1 -Wl,-M,t1.map t1.o
ld: fatal: t1.map: 2: expected a '=', ':', '|', or '@'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
