sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r3: /usr/bin/localedef is segfaulting after emerging glibc-2.3.2-r3. locales/umlauts don't work anymore Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r3 2. try to generate a locale using "localedef" 3. segfault Actual Results: segfault Expected Results: generate locales
some of the output of emerge info Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r3, 2.4.22) ================================================================ System uname: 2.4.22 i686 VIA Samuel 2 Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10p1 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CFLAGS="-march=k6-3 -mcpu=k6-3 -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="-march=k6-3 -mcpu=k6-3 -O3 -pipe"
what if you change the k6-3 to i686
i found out that this problem disappeared when i disabled (echo "0" >/proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield) the current exec-shield kernel patch (exec-shield-2.4.22-ac1-nptl-G4, see http://people.redhat.com/mingo/exec-shield/). i've already notified ingo regarding this. on his box however, localdef doesn't segfault (he uses glibc-common-2.3.2-101.1). so i'm concluding that this might be a problem of my particular box/arch in combination with glibc/exec-shield. unfortunately i lack the time to check out different -march settings (as suggested). at least i could run localedef/locale-gen (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22565) now. my locale problems (missing display of umlauts in mutt) are thus solved.
gcc-porting team, there has been no activity on this bug for over a year. What do you guys want to do with this?
assuming fixed in most recent versions.
