See also https://bugzilla.novell.com/492390 The problem also happens with http://git.spaceboyz.net/asa.git/snapshot/asa_0.3.2.tar.bz2 If amd64/commit.asm is used (with yasm) debugedit fails with the "invalid section entry size" message, but if instead the C code is used there is no problem. This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. This bug blocks firefox/thunderbird to submit crash reports directly to mozilla (instead of out bugzilla). "Perhaps" has something to do with this...
/* TODO: Handle stabs */
#if 0
if (strcmp (name, ".stab") == 0)
edit_stabs (dso, i);
#endif
Somehow I doubt the generated debuginfo on ix86 is correct either even if it doesn't error out.
Roland, thoughts / comments?
We don't support -gstabs at all. Various other tools won't support it either. Packages must be built with DWARF. Who is "we"? Mozilla builds its Firefox linux builds with -gstabs, it's needed for their crash reporter/database. Fedora does not support non-DWARF debuginfo such as stabs. Fedora package builds do not use it. So ... until somebody volunteers to write stabs support for debugedit, it seems best to make .stab section presence a hard error instead of failing with a cryptic message on some architectures and silently producing garbage debuginfo on others. That seems reasonable to me. rpm >= 4.9.1 now in rawhide aborts the build if stabs is used (and debuginfo generation is enabled and in strict mode, as is the default in Fedora), eg: extracting debug info from /home/pmatilai/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/rpm-4.9.90-0.git11184.1.fc15.x86_64/bin/rpm Stabs debuginfo not supported: /home/pmatilai/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/rpm-4.9.90-0.git11184.1.fc15.x86_64/bin/rpm error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.wJalYj (%install) |
