Error description

  • This problem is due a missing keyword in the shipped build scrip
    ts.
    
    The build script fdapcl has 3 main steps
    
    C (compile), L(Link) and L2(additional link.
    
    
    
    L is conditioned upon success of C step, but L2 is unconditional
    .
    
    
    Here C fails, L is skipped, but L2 runs and is 'successful'
    
    
    
    The overall build is accepted as success, incorrectly.
    
    
    
    The problem will be solved by making L2 conitional on L.
    
    ALL build scripts that have L2 step need to be fixed.
