Description Brian Bruns 2004-03-17 12:21:48 UTC

Description of problem:
gmp-4.1.2-13 includes SSE2 optimized libraries in /usr/lib/sse2 in the
default i386 package.  ld picks up on these libraries, even on a non
Pentium processor (like my Athlon XP 2000+) and loads these instead of
the generic ones in /usr/lib.

This causes Illegal Instruction errors in applications that link with
the libraries (clamav being the prime example) until either an older
version of gmp is installed (such as 4.1.2-9) or the sse2 directory is
moved out of the way and ldconfig is rerun.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.1.2-13

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gmp-4.1.2-13.i386.rpm and gmp-devel-4.1.2-13.i386.rpm
2. try to start clamd or freshclam
  
Actual results:
binaries bomb out with Illegal Instruction while attempting to use gmp
functions

Expected results:
binaries should function normally without crashing

Additional info:
This appears to be directly related to the sse2 optimized libs.  I do
not believe that the Athlon XP series emulates sse2.

Shouldn't the dynamic loader be skipping these?

Comment 2 Bernhard Weisshuhn 2004-03-18 11:41:07 UTC

Same for me (regular Athlon). Doing s/pentium4/athlon/gi on the
specfile and recompiling cures the problems for athlons.

Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2004-03-18 13:58:55 UTC

Seems to be a long standing glibc bug, testing a fix.

Comment 5 Jakub Jelinek 2004-03-22 17:22:53 UTC

Should be fixed in glibc-2.3.3-18.

Comment 6 Jay Turner 2004-08-20 13:05:42 UTC

Fix confirmed with 2.3.2-95.26.
