ply builds and installs a library. Some objects that go in that library
are tagged with a 'section' attribute (excerpt):
__attribute__((section("providers")))
Later on, it references the bounds of that section, with the canonical
__start and __stop markers, which will eventually be created by the
linker:
extern struct provider __start_providers;
extern struct provider __stop_providers;
Sections only exists in an ELF file, and a static library id not an ELF.
So, when creating a static library, the markers are not created. Thus,
when linking the final executable, the link fails because of missing
symbols:
.../powerpc-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: ../libply/.libs/libply.a(libply_la-provider.o): in function `provider_get':
provider.c:(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `__start_providers'
.../powerpc-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: provider.c:(.text+0x12): undefined reference to `__stop_providers'
.../powerpc-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: provider.c:(.text+0x2a): undefined reference to `__start_providers'
.../powerpc-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: provider.c:(.text+0x32): undefined reference to `__stop_providers'
So, conceptually, ply can not build in static-only.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
