Description Claus Olesen 2004-04-01 06:23:15 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko)

Description of problem:
gcc aborts prematurely when linking with libjvm.so

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc version 3.3.3 20040311 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-3)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
Create a minimal c program named abc.c, for example
int main()
{
  return 0;
}

2.
Build the program, linking with libjvm.so (allthough not needed), using the command
gcc -L/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/lib/i386/server -o abc abc.c -ljvm

3.
That's it.
    

Actual Results:  collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]

Expected Results:  gcc should have produced executable abc and printed no messages.

Additional info:

Redhat 9 does not exhibit this problem. Still, maybe the problem instead is with libjvm.so.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2004-04-01 07:16:21 UTC
It is apparently the linker, not gcc that segfaults.
What exact version ofbinutils do you have?

Comment 2 Claus Olesen 2004-04-01 07:36:35 UTC
rpm -qa | grep binutils 
binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-2 
 
ld -v 
GNU ld version 2.15.90.0.1.1 20040326 

Comment 3 Claus Olesen 2004-04-09 02:35:14 UTC
As workaround I downgraded from binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-2 to 
binutils-2.14.90.0.8-8.1. After that ld as invoked by gcc complained 
that "-as--needed" is unrecognized. This appears to be a new option 
passed from gcc to ld. I did not downgrade gcc but left it at 
gcc-3.3.3-6. Instead I edited out "-as--needed" and "--no-as-needed" 
in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.3/specs. Don't know if 
that's valid. But with this the problem appears to have vanished. 

Comment 4 Jakub Jelinek 2004-05-27 11:42:24 UTC
I don't see this problem in binutils-2.15.90.0.3-5 (FC2).
