whilst doing emerge -eND system noticed these messages starting to fleck up in portage in conjunction with the SPLITDEBUG feature. i686-pc-linux-gnu-objcopy: /tmp/..var/portage/sys-apps/shadow-4.0.18.1-r1/image/usr/lib/debug/sbin/nologin.debug: Invalid operation bin/groups i686-pc-linux-gnu-objcopy: /tmp/..var/portage/sys-apps/shadow-4.0.18.1-r1/image/usr/lib/debug/bin/groups.debug: Invalid operation bin/login i686-pc-linux-gnu-objcopy: /tmp/..var/portage/sys-apps/shadow-4.0.18.1-r1/image/usr/lib/debug/bin/login.debug: Invalid operation bin/su i686-pc-linux-gnu-objcopy: /tmp/..var/portage/sys-apps/shadow-4.0.18.1-r1/image/usr/lib/debug/bin/su.debug: Invalid operation bin/passwd i686-pc-linux-gnu-objcopy: /tmp/..var/portage/sys-apps/shadow-4.0.18.1-r1/image/usr/lib/debug/bin/passwd.debug: Invalid operation So I did this manual test: objcopy --strip-unneeded test test_out objcopy --only-keep-debug test test_debug objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=test_debug test_out which all went fine ( which to me is what it looks like portage was doing ) oddly, running that last objcopy line a second time results in the very same 'Invalid operation' error I see in the emerge logs. But the worrysome part is what it produces in the debug-link sections. Where as before it would just store pngcrush with pngcrush.debug in its debug link, its now seeming to put the same data in for everything, which I don't believe is how its supposed to work : extract from elftoc /bin/su /* gnu_debuglink */ { 'c', 'r', 't', '1', '.', 'o', '.', 'd', 'e', 'b', 'u', 'g', '\0', '\0', '\0', '\0', 0x8A, 0x9A, 0xDA, 0x15, 'c', 'r', 't', 'i', '.', 'o', '.', 'd', 'e', 'b', 'u', 'g', '\0', '\a', '\0', '\0', '_', 0x85, 'X', 'z', 'c', 'r', 't', 'b', 'e', 'g', 'i', 'n', '.', 'o', '.', 'd', 'e', 'b', 'u', 'g', '\0', '1', 0xED, 0xB7, 'Z', '?', '1', 'j', 'c', 'r', 't', 'e', 'n', 'd', '.', 'o', '.', 'd', 'e', 'b', 'u', 'g', '\0', 'A', 0xC9, 0xEF, 'J', '6', 'c', 'r', 't', 'n', '.', 'o', '.', 'd', 'e', 'b', 'u', 'g', '\0', 0x06, '\0', '\0', 'U', 0xF9, 0x1C, 'u' }, the actual debug file spat out /looks/ perfectly normal, just the link-to-it factility is broken and spits errors.

ive already fixed this in portage run this in the meantime: objcopy -R .gnu_debuglink /usr/lib*/crt?.o

Also , I found the need to do the same on crtbegin.o, crtbeginS.o, ctrend.o, crtendS.o in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.0/ find /usr/lib/crt*.o /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.0/crt*.o | grep -v "\(T.o\|math\)" | xargs -l1 objcopy -R .gnu_debuglink Should be a more appropriate solution for now.
elftoc output for some program with my alterations ( /usr/bin/pango-view ) Hand transposing those syms seems to work. But gdb does go nato with warnings about 'section not found in /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/crti.o.debug' But at least thats usable. /* gnu_debuglink */ { 0x70, 0x61, 0x6E, 0x67, 0x6F, 0x2D, 0x76, 0x69, 0x65, 0x77, 0x2E, 0x64, 0x65, 0x62, 0x75, 0x67, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xB1, 0x6F, 0xB2, 0xD4 },
maybe you should look harder, this has been released already
(In reply to comment #5) > maybe you should look harder, this has been released already Dunno what was releases where. 2.1.3_rc7 still has this very same bug (plus of course no changelog entry about this anywhere, because people need to 'look harder' apparently). So, what's exactly the fix here?
incorrect, prepstrip no longer contains the bug
(In reply to comment #7) > incorrect, prepstrip no longer contains the bug Great; so the fix is what exactly? Because it still produces the same 'invalid operation' as before.
if you read the comments in the bug and use your head it's pretty easy trivial to deduce the answer yourself workaround: remove .gnu_debuglink from glibc's crt*.o objects deduced answer: prepstrip was incorrect adding .gnu_debuglink to .o files and even after prepstrip is fixed, your system will continue to have .gnu_debuglink in all of your .o files until you re-emerge the packages that installed these .o files (like glibc)

An easy fix should be doing the -R mandatorily on binaries prior to adding the debug link. IE: the error occurs because 'zomg something already there!' right? why not just remove it first, seeing we hard-link the debug-link manually anyway.
Well, I'm sorry but the fix plain doesn't work for me...

i wasnt kidding when i said "all .o files" ... glibc is not the only package that provides .o files which get linked in simply use `readelf -x` on the binary to figure out which .o files are still broken on your system
Well, this is really a wonderful "fix". Maybe you could produce a script to fix the broken crap and stick it somewhere to the tree?
(Not to mention that all the udev stuff links to *nothing else* but glibc.)
that's where you'd be incorrect. try and compile a simple hello world with -v and you can see .o files coming from more than just glibc.

You mean WHEN /path/to/some/package: InvalidOperation THEN readelf -x .gnu_debuglink /path/to/some/package FOREACH *.O in OUTPUT objcopy -R .gnu_debuglink $item Right?
Eh, just need to fix this somehow (nope, `emerge -e world` doesn't count as a solution :P) I'm going to re-emerge gcc as well, that's the last part of toolchain left. If that fails, then I really give up. On that note, what's wrong w/ the suggestion in Comment #11 (i.e., run ${OBJCOPY} -R .gnu_debuglink {$x} first, before this whole thing makes kaboom)?
Uh; after re-emerging gcc twice, it's finally back to normal (the first run still failed to splitdebug gcc itself properly). Apparently you need to re-emerge complete toolchain to get rid of this borkage, glibc itself is definitely not enough. :/
