• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexey Bazhin 2003-11-17 07:39:16 UTC]

I have been trying to emerge sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1 with propolice and got error:

I tryed to emerge it several times and sometimes I got Bus error insted of
segfault(in the same place). Without -fstack-protector it compiles nicely.

glibc-2.3.2-r1 got removed from portage. Please test with glibc-2.3.2-r3 (worked for me).

BTW, Bus error and segfault look more like dead ram or some other problem to me. Overheating might be the reason too (had this on my Ultra5 with a too slow cpu fan).

[Comment 2 Sven Blumenstein (RETIRED) 2003-12-25 07:03:08 UTC]

Does this problem still exist?

[Comment 3 Alexey Bazhin 2003-12-25 08:15:39 UTC]

sorry, i had some problems with other apps too so i decided not to use propolice this time

[Comment 4 Jason Wever (RETIRED) 2003-12-31 16:56:22 UTC]

Adding the hardened folks so they are aware of the problem and can perhaps make some suggestions.

[Comment 5 solar (RETIRED) 2003-12-31 20:25:25 UTC]

Weeve,

Sven said it works for him.

But can you confirm it's all good now by rebuilding your glibc-2.3.2-r3 with 
-fstack-protector enabled in your CFLAGS. You should anyway!!! Either or -r2 or -r3 fixes bugs in ssp.
If it fails to build then we just need to make sure we have a 
"use sparc && filter-flags -fstack-protector" in the glibc ebuild for this arch..

[Comment 6 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) 2004-01-29 18:07:19 UTC]

glibc-2.3.2-r3 builds fine with propolice on sparc64.
we still have to check #39725 - e2fsprogs doesn't like propolice on sparc yet, i had that same problem.
thanks.
