Bug 104506 – sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5-r1 builds and installs a segfaulting version

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Juan J. García de Soria 2005-09-01 12:01:21 UTC]

I'm rebuilding my AMD64 gentoo box because when it got upgraded glibc got
corrupt and even bash would segfault. I thought this to be related to a full
partition while upgrading so...

After trying the rescue glibc binaries to no avail, I proceeded to bootstrap
again from stage1, but glibc-2.3.5-r1 would fail in the same way: it would
compile, install, and then I'd got this output (after merging):

...
>>> /lib64/tls/libpthread.so.0 -> libpthread-2.3.5.so
>>> /lib32/tls/libthread_db.so.1 -> libthread_db-1.0.so
>>> /lib64/tls/libthread_db.so.1 -> libthread_db-1.0.so
!!! FAILED postinst: 2816
livecd portage # 


It would seem that everything breaks after the binaries get installed. The
bootstrap script now directly segfaults. emerge info seems to work still, though.

I don't know if any of these in my CFLAGS could be the one to blame: -O3
-fomit-frame-pointer -ggdb3 ...


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Bootstrap from stage1
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
At the end of the merging of compiled files:

!!! FAILED postinst: 2816


Now it seems that the installed version of glibc is corrupt, and even bash
segfaults.



Expected Results:  
glibc-2.3.5-r1 would emerge successfully, and the installed version would
actually work.
