Description Chris Lieb 2004-08-31 13:06:33 UTC
When my computer boots, right before the screen switches to X, multiple error messages are printed to the terminal:

/usr/kde/3.3/bin/kdm: Symbol 'memmove' causes overflow in R_X86_64_PC32 relocation
/usr/kde/3.3/bin/kdm: Symbol 'recvfrom' causes overflow in R_X86_64_PC32 relocation
/usr/kde/3.3/bin/kdm: Symbol 'sendto' causes overflow in R_X86_64_PC32 relocation
/usr/kde/3.3/bin/kdm: Symbol 'malloc' causes overflow in R_X86_64_PC32 relocation
/usr/kde/3.3/bin/kdm: Symbol 'malloc' causes overflow in R_X86_64_PC32 relocation
/usr/kde/3.3/bin/kdm: Symbol 'realloc' causes overflow in R_X86_64_PC32 relocation
/usr/kde/3.3/bin/kdm: Symbol 'free' causes overflow in R_X86_64_PC32 relocation

These messages are output in a haphazard way on the terminal instead of the normal left-aligned form that terminal outout normally has.  I have re-emerged kde-base multiple times, but the errors never go away. They never appeared when I was running KDE 3.2.2 or KDE 3.2.3.  I already submitted a bug the KDE, but they (Oswald Buddenhagen (ossi@kde.org)) claimed that the package was miscompiled.  I am running a 64-bit install on my system.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the computer
2. Scratch my head upon seeing error messages while X starts
3.

Actual Results:  
The error messages are output to the terminal

Expected Results:  
Started kdm without any errors

the -only- time i can get this to happen is when libXdmcp.a is included in a binary built -fPIE. since you're not using hardened gcc, this should never be happening... so i'm just a tad bit confused.
Comment 2 Chris Lieb 2004-09-01 18:16:14 UTC
After re-emergeing all of the packages that xorg-x11 depends on (expat, fontconfig, freetype, baselayout, portage, sed, flex, ncurses, zlib, opengl-update, ttmkfdir, perl, libpng, util-linux, gcc, patch, xterm), xorg-x11 and doing an etc-update, the error messages went away.  Not sure what was wrong, but the problem was resolved.

Comment 4 Chris Lieb 2004-09-02 08:15:37 UTC
