Description Kaj J. Niemi 2003-12-30 14:08:23 UTC

Description of problem:

/usr/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.2/../../../libc.so:
file format not recognized; treating as linker script
/usr/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.2/../../../libc.so:4:
syntax error
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

File contents are the following:

% cat /usr/lib/libc.so
/* GNU ld script
   Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
   the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
*** BUG in libc/scripts/output-format.sed *** elf32-i386,elf32-i386
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a )

While on a gcc-2.3.2-101.1 system they're:

/* GNU ld script
   Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
   the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a )


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-devel-2.3.3-2, glibc-2.3.3-2

How reproducible:
Always

Additional info:

Comment 1 Kaj J. Niemi 2003-12-30 14:15:42 UTC

The contents of /usr/lib/libc.so are "normal" with glibc-2.3.3-1 as well:

/* GNU ld script
   Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
   the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a )

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2003-12-30 19:30:29 UTC

This is a regex bug introduced already in glibc-2.3.3-1.
See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2003-12/msg00103.html
glibc just needs to be rebuilt while either glibc older than 2003-11-18
or glibc with this patch is installed on the system.

Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2003-12-30 19:30:58 UTC

*** Bug 112757 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 4 Kaj J. Niemi 2003-12-30 19:41:29 UTC

Uh, okay. Are you going to build a glibc where this has been fixed for
rawhide to replace 2.3.3-2 that's there now? If not, I'll see if I
have the time to try out the patch on a few test systems.

Thanks.

Comment 5 Kaj J. Niemi 2003-12-31 12:04:33 UTC

Fixed in 2.3.3-3. Resolving as RAWHIDE
