[edk2-devel] [PATCH 00/24] CryptoPkg/openssl: update openssl submodule to v3.0

Fri Jan 28 15:54:00 UTC 2022

Gerd,

As I mentioned earlier, abort() is one of 5 functions GCC expects in
freestanding mode (plus memset, mempy and two others).

Is there any floating point enabled somewhere? I really don't remember
having seen those undefined references to fprintf, ever. I thought that was
only used in floating point stuff. A dummy implementation should suffice
though.

Thanks,
Pedro
