Description Holger Hoffstätte 2022-09-04 09:15:17 UTC
elfutils default-enables threading support. It should probably be enabled unconditionally, since it is being used in multi-threaded scenarios and deals with thread-related things (e.g. stacktraces).


Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Holger Hoffstätte 2022-09-05 05:44:35 UTC
Further research (seee PR) has shown that the threads support is actually masked and should be *dis*abled unconditionally until this is in better shape upstream.

    dev-libs/elfutils: revbump to unconditionally disable thread safety
    
    Upstream recommends disabling thread safety. It's marked as experimental
    upstream and doesn't even build (been masked for years).
