If I manually compile an un-patched cdb-0.75, ld crashes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. tar xvzf /usr/portage/distfiles/cdb-0.75.tar.gz 2. cd cdb-0.75 3. make Actual Results: ./load cdbget cdb.a buffer.a unix.a byte.a collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault] /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: BFD 2.14.90.0.8 20040114 assertion fail elflink.h:4487 Expected Results: ld should report errors, like so: ./load cdbget cdb.a buffer.a unix.a byte.a cdb.a(cdb.o)(.text+0x10e): In function `cdb_read': : undefined reference to `errno' cdb.a(cdb.o)(.text+0x18b): In function `cdb_read': : undefined reference to `errno' buffer.a(strerr_sys.o)(.text+0x9): In function `strerr_sysinit': : undefined reference to `errno' buffer.a(buffer_put.o)(.text+0x47): In function `allwrite': : undefined reference to `errno' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [cdbget] Error 1 (this is from another gentoo box, running 2.6.0-gentoo (non-nptl), gcc 3.3.2 20031218, glibc 2.3.2-r9, binutils 2.14.90.0.7-r4) This is with 2.6 kernel, nptl, and ~x86 gcc/glibc/binutils. Note that this is not a duplicate of 16267 -- I know cdb needs errno patches. But ld should assert. It's possible this is a "duplicate" of the 20600 meta compilation bug. My hardware is fine; this problem only started after I migrated to 2.6 and the new compiler tools.

Can you try with distcc disabled?
Same thing. export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.3 hash -r rm *.o *.a make ... collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault] /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: BFD 2.14.90.0.8 20040114 assertion fail elflink.h:4505 Note that the assertion line number is different, that's because I updated binutils to 2.14.90.0.8-r1.
Works fine here. What about if you merge the one in portage?
By "the one in portage" you mean cdb? That works fine; portage applies a patch that fixes errno, so there is no error for ld to report (or in my case crash on). What versions of gcc/glibc/binutils/kernel are you running?
Minimal reproduction: $ echo "extern int errno; int main() { int x = errno; }" > s.c $ /usr/bin/gcc -c s.c $ /usr/bin/gcc -o s s.o collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault] /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: BFD 2.14.90.0.8 20040114 assertion fail elflink.h:4505
I get (probably the same bug) trying to compile the 2.6.4 user-mode-linux sources. Bumping up the severity a bit, this is probably not a good thing to have around for too long. /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: BFD 2.14.90.0.8 20040114 assertion fail elf.c:3465
Ran into this trying to compile a 2.6 UML kernel too. However, this seems to be gcc-related, rather than binutils/ld. I base this on the fact that the minimal example doesn't trigger the assertion on Fedora core 2 test 2, but when using the Fedora binutils on Gentoo, the same (ok, very similar, the line number reported is different) problem ensues. So I suspect gcc (I've tried Gentoo gcc-3.3.3-r3 and r4) is the culprit.
Me too! Basic problem is I cant load any modules as module-init-tools wont build so I had too build a monlithic kernel to boot - as this is my gateway machine I need to fix it. Any hints short of a reinstall welcome. This machine was originally built as a a gentoo 1.1a a couple of years back, and is currently an up to date default-1.4 profile (upgraded each major change). I recently changed the cpu from a cyrix 686 to a k6-2, first recompiling the whole system down to a 586 before swapping MB/CPU. Worked fine, so I then changed to a 2.6.7 gentoo-dev-sources/udev with no problems. After changing the CFLAGS to k6-2, and building some 200 packages, this problem occurred which has stopped me dead.
