OK, so I've narrowed down the problem to LDFLAGS="-Wl,-Bsymbolic- functions" . If I build rsyslog without that, then the daemon does not segfault on the first message. The debian build has an empty LDFLAGS [1], which explains why their binaries work and the ones I built with debuild did not.
[1] https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=rsyslog&arch=amd64&ver=5.8.1-1&stamp=1306775502 I wonder if it is an appropriate work around or not, to build with empty LDFLAGS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794230 Title: Please merge rsyslog 5.8.1-1 (main) from debian unstable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/794230/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
