crtbeginS-ok-7.3.0.o.back

Noticed today when newly installed gcc refused to function:
    $ cat a.c
    int main(){}
    $ LANG=C LANG=C gcc a.c -o a
    /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.2.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.2.0/crtbeginS.o: invalid string offset 758132274 >= 95 for section `strtab'
    /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.2.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.2.0/crtbeginS.o: error adding symbols: no error
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Easy to reproduce even on files without debugging sections:

$ cp crtbeginS-ok-7.3.0.o.back crtbeginS-ok-7.3.0.o
$ debugedit -i -b $(pwd) -d /usr/src/debug -l ./foo crtbeginS-ok-7.3.0.o
$ export LANG=C
$ readelf -a crtbeginS-ok-7.3.0.o.back >/dev/null && echo ok
readelf: Warning: [ 9]: Info field (8) should index a relocatable section.
ok

$ readelf -a crtbeginS-ok-7.3.0.o >/dev/null && echo ok
readelf: Warning: [ 9]: Info field (8) should index a relocatable section.
readelf: Error:  bad symbol index: 54495f00 in relocreadelf: Error:  bad symbol index: 656c6261 in relocreadelf: Error:  bad symbol index: 62615465 in relocreadelf: Error:  bad symbol index: 69665f61 in relocreadelf: Warning: local symbol 11 found at index >= symtab's sh_info value of 11
readelf: Warning: local symbol 14 found at index >= symtab's sh_info value of 11
readelf: Warning: local symbol 15 found at index >= symtab's sh_info value of 11
ok

Looks like all sections are quite messed up.

Could you report this upstream?  You certainly understand more about it than I do.
Comment 4 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-09-24 19:06:10 UTC
I'll follow up on existing
    https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/423
Comment 5 Greg Turner 2018-10-16 15:48:05 UTC
There appears to be a fix for this, now, upstream:

https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/commit/0779d60cb5941610dd1f31632aa1655bf2cc447a.patch

I have not tested it yet, (too much ptsd, I guess, after being an early victim) -- but wanted to point it out, in case someone is feeling braver than me.

I had the same issue where gcc was b0rked after recompilation with FEATURES=installsources and that the above patch to app-arch/rpm fixes the problem for me.

I don't think it's a fix *upstream*.  It's just the commit from the pull request.

Yes, you're right, my bad.  Official (-ish? there is also a redhat bugzilla) upstream bug is here if I'm not mistaken (twice :P):

As already posted below by the bug's creator.  Sorry.

I'll take the plunge and give the patch a try, in a week or three, if it's still unresolved, at which point I may have something other than noise to contribute :)
