Description Dennis Nezic 2014-02-24 01:22:10 UTC 
After upgrading from sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3-r1 (mentioned in the 7.2.4.3 ebuild) to sys-libs/zlib-1.2.8-r1, the java binaries are broken, with SIGSEGV errors:

# Problematic frame:
# C  [libz.so.1+0xcbf5]  inflate+0x2585

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Dennis Nezic 2014-02-24 03:10:19 UTC 
Oddly enough, I can't simply recompile zlib to the older version and LD_PRELOAD it. Hmm.
Comment 2 Dennis Nezic 2014-02-24 03:31:58 UTC 
Perhaps it's because I ignored the >=sys-devel/gcc-4.5.4 dependency :\. (I currently have 4.4.5) I'll try to update that and see how things go.
Comment 3 Dennis Nezic 2014-02-24 11:56:18 UTC 
Indeed, the issue was with my older version of gcc. After upgrading gcc to 4.8 AND recompiling zlib, it's working again.
