Bug 21358 – gcc 3.3 gets segv compiling glibc-2.3.2-r2 on ~x86

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description James Cloos 2003-05-20 15:40:25 UTC]

Per bug 21182, I tried upgrading gcc from 3.2.... to 3.3, and glibc from
2.3.2-r1 to 2.3.2-r2.

I get a segv from gcc 3.3 when trying to merge glibc:

I USE nptl, and run a current 2.5 kernel.

'emerge info' please.

Can you try with -O2 instead of -O3 please ?

[Comment 4 James Cloos 2003-05-21 17:16:40 UTC]

-O2 results in the same error as -O3.

.../buildhere/elf/ld-linux.so gives a SEGV for any command that does not end up displaying its help text.

I got this trace by running the command in gdb (the corefile did not have the info):

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x80001c6b in dl_main ()
(gdb) where
#0  0x80001c6b in dl_main ()
#1  0x8000f902 in _dl_sysdep_start ()
#2  0x80000f7e in _dl_start ()

I had a breakpoint at dl_main() and the SEGV occurred after just one step command.

Resolving as WORKSFORME, as glibc-2.3.2-r2 is rather old.  glibc-2.3.2-r6
is in portage, and I've built it using gcc-3.3.1 with nptl and a 2.6.0-testX-mmY
kernel many times without incident.  Thus, it was likely fixed upstream in
glibc CVS.  If this is not the case, feel free to re-open this bug.
