Bug 783506

This was already fixed upstream.  It's probably about time for an 0.153 release.

The upstream fix is:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=32899ac4f69d4ca4856d5282464c1f9cee928c8a
I'll prepare a backport to get elfutils to build again.

But I agree that it is about time for a new upstream release.

I pushed a build, which compiled, but failed one of the testcases:

section [35] '.symtab': symbol 137: st_value out of bounds
*** failure in ../src/addr2line
section [36] '.symtab': symbol 310: st_value out of bounds
*** failure in ../libelf/libelf.so
FAIL: run-elflint-self.sh

See http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3718849&name=build.log

Will need to investigate on a rawhide install to see what is going on.

Note this is x86_64 specific, the i686 build succeeded with all tests PASS:

Builds on armv7hl and armv5tel without problems as well.

This is about the new __TMC_END__ symbol, see upstream discussion here: https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2012-January/002197.html

What's the status on a 0.153 release?

See this thread: https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2012-February/002221.html
It looks good to go unless any new show stoppers are found.

elfutils 0.153 has been released:
https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2012-February/002231.html

It has also been successfully build in rawhide/f18:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=301120

But still fails to build on f17:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=301124

Because the fixed binutils release doesn't seem to be available in the f17 even though that too has been successfully build for f17:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=299699

So the wait is now on getting binutils-2.22.52.0.1-5.fc17 actually in the f17 build roots and then we can rebuild elfutils-0.153-1.fc17 against it.

New binutils is very slowly making its way through bodhi, testing, updates, etc... https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-2260/binutils-2.22.52.0.1-5.fc17

Mark: you do know you can tag the new binutils into a build override to build the new elfutils?

No I didn't :) How please?

On the left hand side there's an option "Buildroot Overrides" and you can specify the NVR you want and how long you need it for. It then takes around 30 mins to get into the F-17 buildroot and you can build against it.

That only seems to work if you also have commit privs for the package you want an override for. "Error: You do not have commit privileges to binutils"

But I saw the update just got enough votes to get pushed through, so it should be there tomorrow or after the weekend. Will try a rebuild then.

I've tagged it in for you. Should be in the F-17 buildroot in around 20 mins. So give it maybe 30 to be sure and your good to build.
