[Comment 1 Daniel Santos 2019-05-25 04:35:46 UTC]

Confirmed, same problem.  Do we have an upstream report?  This elfhack is a pos, no error messages, no --help options.

[Comment 2 Daniel Santos 2019-05-25 04:37:10 UTC]

This post recommends --disable-elf-hack, but I haven't tried it yet. https://blfs-dev.linuxfromscratch.narkive.com/lKXcx8UI/error-building-firefox-63-0#post8

[Comment 3 Daniel Santos 2019-05-25 07:30:56 UTC]

This is an exceedingly bizarre bug.  It only seems to happen when the program is run as root.  Further, both gdb 8.1 and 8.3 it crash when attempting to debug it.  I re-built elfhack with -O0 and -g3.  As soon as I try to run the callq to the Elf::Elf(std::basic_ifstream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&), gdb blows up with a segfault.


0x0000555555569601      1200      Elf elf(file);
1: x/2i $rip
=> 0x555555569601 <do_file(char const*, bool, bool)+112>:       callq  0x5555555568e2 <Elf::Elf(std::basic_ifstream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&)>
   0x555555569606 <do_file(char const*, bool, bool)+117>:       lea    -0x490(%rbp),%rax
(gdb) stepi
Segmentation fault

I wonder if --disable-elf-hack is the simplest way to work-around this.

[Comment 4 Jonas Stein 2019-05-25 08:01:19 UTC]

Thank you for the report. Please recompile and 
*attach* the complete logfiles and 
paste the emerge info as described on
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Attach_the_logs_to_the_bug_ticket
The logs must be part of the ticket, but not on external websites.
We need to have all information at hand before ticket assignment, so that the maintainer can look after it in one session with minimal number of callbacks.
Please reopen this ticket (Status:unconfirmed) afterwards.

[Comment 5 ad PC 2019-05-25 12:28:57 UTC]

@4: The build log has a size of 16 MB. Hence it cannot be attached due to the size limit of this bug tracker.

[Comment 6 Daniel Santos 2019-05-25 20:58:04 UTC]

ad PC: kindly reopen the bug, please don't close it as WONTFIX when it affects more than one user.  Else I have to create a new bug, which only means more wrangling work for maintainers.

[Comment 7 Daniel Santos 2019-05-25 22:22:24 UTC]

(In reply to ad PC from comment #5)

Nevermind ad PC, I've opened #686760.  I'm almost certain that building without -g will work-around this issue, although I don't quite get the underlying cause and why upstream isn't getting this.

[Comment 8 Jonas Stein 2019-05-26 14:16:12 UTC]

Thanks to D.S. for the logfiles in #686760
