This issue does not appear if we shift to a newer binutils version (by taking one of the f16 ones and rebuilding for f15). The last version where this bug still occurs: 2.21.51.0.8-3.fc16 The first version that doesn't crash: 2.21.51.0.9-1.fc16 The suspected buggy patch is still included in the working version. I took a look at the differences between 2.21.51.0.8 and 2.21.51.0.9 and identified that the following commit (included in 0.9 but not 0.8) solves the issue: http://repo.or.cz/w/binutils.git/commitdiff/16beaaa62261c6bf0650e68a4f163c826b9fd79e If I add that to F15 (even without removing binutils-2.20.51.0.2-build-id.patch), the crash no longer occurs. Looking at that commit, I guess binutils-2.20.51.0.2-build-id.patch may not be buggy after all. The commit seems to fix the specific case of reading sections after bfd_final_link has written the contents out to disk, which is exactly what binutils-2.20.51.0.2-build-id.patch does. This looks like the right fix to me. Hi Daniel, Sorry for the very long delay in responding to this issue. I have looked over the patch you located and I agree that it does the job, so I have now checked it in to the f15 sources. Please try binutils-2.21.51.0.6-8.fc15 and let me know if you have any more problems. Cheers Nick Another ARM contributor hit exactly the same issue compiling ghc (matching backtrace), and confirms that binutils-2.21.51.0.6-9.fc15 fixes the problem. Thanks! This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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 |
