Hello, 32-bit versions of >=x11-libs/libxcb-1.12 don't seem to work properly with some programs if they were compiled with optimization levels above -O1. See: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49560
Confirming this. Segfault occurs in libxcb if it was compiled with gcc-6 and -O2 or higher optimisation level. Backtrace is the same as was reported a year ago to the ML: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2016-June/010815.html Core was generated by `/home/gamer/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization V/./Ci'.

I confirm this bug. TeamViewer 12 doesn't launch unless one builds libxcb with -O1 (Bug 621918).
the (treecleaned) acroread-9.5.5 shows the same effect. Workaround: CFLAGS="-march=native -O1 -pipe" emerge -1 x11-libs/libxcb
These packages depend on x11-libs/libxcb https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/rindex/x11-libs/libxcb Chances are high, that these are affected too. Adding CC to ryao, the maintainer of app-emulation/crossover-bin so that he is informed too.
Curious to know which version of GCC you're using. I have issues with 32bit binaries with GCC 7 when built with -march=native, I pass in -mno-bmi to fix it in my make.conf CFLAGS_x86="${CFLAGS_x86} -mno-bmi" CXXFLAGS_x86="${CXXFLAGS_x86} -mno-bmi"
(In reply to Mike Lothian from comment #5) > Curious to know which version of GCC you're using. Alexander and I used gcc-6 (now gcc-6.4.0-r1)
I'm not too sure, I had no issues with GCC 6 and have been using -mno-bmi with GCC 7 to work around issues until this patch Maybe get the folks to test -mno-bmi to see if it fixes the issue for them

Disabling BMI doesn't help. $ sudo zgrep CFLAGS /var/log/portage/build/x11-libs/libxcb-1.12-r2\:20180127-182357.log.gz Used CFLAGS: CFLAGS..............: -O2 -march=bdver2 -mtune=bdver2 -mno-tbm -mno-fma4 -mno-xop -mno-lwp -pipe -mno-bmi Used CFLAGS: CFLAGS..............: -O2 -march=bdver2 -mtune=bdver2 -mno-tbm -mno-fma4 -mno-xop -mno-lwp -pipe -mno-bmi
I think the bug is about stack alignment. Adding -mstackrealign should fix it.

(In reply to Jason Oliveira from comment #10) > Adding -mstackrealign to CFLAGS solved Civ V crashing. Thank you so much for > this. I have a different story. After recompiling libxcb with -mstackrealign Civ5 started crashing in libpulse. After recompiling pulseaudio with -mstackrealign Civ5 started crashing in libpthread... And I gave up on this step. :) So Civ5 seems really broken.
Some info from redhat bugzilla partially related to this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1471427 Looks like they are compiling most of the 32-bit userland without SSE2 support and 32-bit glibc without IFUNC feature. This (mostly) avoids problems with binaries that are not aligned to a 16-byte boundary.

No, it's just escalating through all the parts without proper stack alignment.
*** Bug 660362 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've made such changes: /etc/portage/package.env/civ5: x11-libs/libxcb stackrealign.cfg /etc/portage/env/stackrealign.cfg: CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -mstackrealign" Then I recompiled x11-libs/libxcb and the issue is gone. My default CFLAGS are "-O2 -pipe -march=znver1 -ggdb". What applications require stepping down to -O1? I tried to report various issues to Aspyr several months ago, but their response is generally "if it doesn't trigger on Ubuntu, we are not fixing it". Would it be considered foul play to set up Ubuntu, recompile libxcb our way and then insist they fix the bug because we managed to trigger it on Ubuntu?
@moog, no that would be fair. Please do so.
I tried to recompile: media-libs/alsa-lib media-sound/pulseaudio x11-libs/libxcb sys-libs/glibc with "-O1 -pipe -ggdb -mstackrealign" and here's the output I get from GDB while starting the game: #0 0x0885bca7 in ??

What should I change to rectify this behavior? 2. I'm in the middle of making Gentoo-grade Ubuntu packages that will hopefully trigger the bug on Ubuntu and therefore force Aspyr to react.
(In reply to Johannes Hirte from comment #9) > I think the bug is about stack alignment. Adding -mstackrealign should fix > it. This fix worked for me, but *not* in libxcb. I had to compile glibc with -mstackrealign, but after doing so, I can run the game with no issues.

I advised them that I see two ways of recompiling Civilization V to fix this: 1. Add `-march=nocona` to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, recompile and raise the minimum CPU version to match steam: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux 2. Add `-mpreferred-stack-boundary=4` to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS and recompile: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/x86-Options.html#index-mstackrealign Anyway, I attached the contents of my bug report to this issue since it really should be public. I cannot change the status of this bug, but after I submit this comment, I am going to change it to RESOLVED UPSTREAM.
>I filed a bug report with Asypr through their support system. Been there and done that years ago. They'll tell you they will do nothing about it because you're not encountering this on a supported version of Ubuntu.
