a while ago I noticed that prelink throws lots of "Could not prelink $foo because its dependency $bar could not be prelinked". This happens now with almost all libs, thus rendering prelink quite ineffective. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -e world 2. prelink -va 3. uhm ... that doesn't look right :-) Actual Results: looooong list of un-prelinkable shared libs and apps Expected Results: it should have worked ;-) Portage 2.0.52-r1 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.12 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre8 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.13 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.gentoo.mesh-solutions.com/gentoo/ " LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac aalib acpi afs alsa apache2 apm avi bash-completion berkdb bidi bigger-fonts bitmap-fonts bootsplash ccache cdda cddb cdparanoia cdr chroot crypt cups curl dga divx4linux dv dvd dvdr dvdread ecc eds emboss encode esd fam fbcon ffmpeg fftw foomaticdb fortran gd gd-external gdbm gif gimp gimpprint glep gmp gphoto2 gpm graphviz gstreamer imagemagick imlib ipv6 jabber jack jikes jit jpeg jpeg2k kde kdeenablefinal ladcca libg++ libwww lm_sensors lzo mad matroska mhash mikmod mime mjpeg mmx mmxext mng motif mozilla mozsvg mp3 mpeg mpeg4 ncurses nls nptl nvidia objc ogg oggvorbis openal opengl oss pam parse-clocks pdf pdflib perl physfs png python qt quicktime readline real recode ruby samba sdl spell sqlite sse sse2 ssl stream tcltk tcpd tetex threads tiff transcode truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts utf8 vorbis win32codecs wxgtk1 xine xml xml2 xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Created attachment 68437 [details] prelink error output This is the list of libraries and binaries that prelink refuses to prelink
that's hardly 'most' ... but anyways, i see two classes of errors ... first, the media libraries (avi/etc...) which are broken packages to poor PIC handling ... not a bug in prelink second, the KDE stuff all fails due to these first failures: prelink: Could not prelink /usr/kde/3.4/lib/libDCOP.so.4 because it doesn't use /lib/libgcc_s.so.1, but one of its dependencies has been prelinked against it prelink: Could not prelink /usr/kde/3.4/lib/libkdefx.so.4 because it doesn't use /lib/libgcc_s.so.1, but one of its dependencies has been prelinked against it without actually looking at KDE, my guess is that it is broken, not prelink
*** Bug 163130 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
re-open if prelink-20061201 fails as well
