Which exact kernel nvr was that and what was MALLOC_PERTURB value you reproduced it with? that was a git clone from linus' tree from 2 days ago. MALLOC_PERTURB was 30 something (38 I think) to begin with, but it was reproducable with many others (my .bashrc sets it to $RANDOM, and I had this happen in multiple terminals). I tried MALLOC_PERTURB_=136 mock -r fedora-devel-i386-core --arch=i686 kernel-2.6.20-1.3054.fc7.src.rpm today and that didn't reproduce this for me. Could you please tar the above files in question for me, so that I can just run ld to reproduce it? arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux.scr and arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.gz should be hopefully all that is needed (unless vmlinux.scr includes other linker scripts). Reproduced, thanks. Should be fixed in binutils-2.17.50.0.12-4 in rawhide. |
