Package: binutils-gold Version: 2.23.52.20130620-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
binutils-gold does not correctly link qemu linux-user targets. While the link stage does not show any problems, the resulting binaries crash with a segmentation fault. Using gnu ld instead of ld.gold fixes the issue. * What led up to the situation? * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * What was the outcome of this action? To reproduce: with gnu.ld installed: % apt-get source qemu % cd qemu-* % ./configure --target-list=x86_64-linux-user % make % ./x86_64-linux-user/qemu-x86_64 -version -> qemu-x86_64 version 1.5, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard apt-get install binutils-gold % rm ./x86_64-linux-user/qemu-x64_64 % make % ./x86_64-linux-user/qemu-x86_64 -version -> Segmentation fault * What outcome did you expect instead? I would not expect ld.gold to link a binary that Segfaults -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages binutils-gold depends on: ii binutils 2.23.52.20130620-1 binutils-gold recommends no packages. binutils-gold suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
