Hi, On debian, it seems that elfutils FTBFS on mips and mipsel architectures due to the run-strip-strmerge.sh test: FAIL: run-strip-strmerge.sh =========================== elflint /«PKGBUILDDIR»/tests/elfstrmerge invalid machine flags: 0x70001007 program header entry 2: unknown program header entry type 0x70000003 program header entry 3: unknown program header entry type 0x70000000 section [ 3] '.MIPS.abiflags' has unsupported type 1879048234 section [ 4] '.reginfo' has unsupported type 1879048198 section [ 6] '.dynamic': entry 14: unknown tag section [ 6] '.dynamic': entry 15: unknown tag section [ 6] '.dynamic': entry 18: unknown tag section [ 6] '.dynamic': entry 19: unknown tag section [ 6] '.dynamic': entry 20: unknown tag section [ 6] '.dynamic': entry 21: unknown tag section [ 6] '.dynamic': entry 22: unknown tag section [ 6] '.dynamic': entry 23: unknown tag section [ 6] '.dynamic': entry 24: unknown tag section [ 8] '.dynsym': symbol 2: non-local section symbol section [23] '.got' contains invalid processor-specific flag(s) 0x10000000 section [24] '.sdata' contains invalid processor-specific flag(s) 0x10000000 section [28] '.debug_aranges' has wrong type: expected PROGBITS, is SHT_LOPROC+1e section [28] '.debug_aranges' has unsupported type 1879048222 section [29] '.debug_info' has wrong type: expected PROGBITS, is SHT_LOPROC+1e section [29] '.debug_info' has unsupported type 1879048222 section [30] '.debug_abbrev' has wrong type: expected PROGBITS, is SHT_LOPROC+1e section [30] '.debug_abbrev' has unsupported type 1879048222 section [31] '.debug_line' has wrong type: expected PROGBITS, is SHT_LOPROC+1e section [31] '.debug_line' has unsupported type 1879048222 section [32] '.debug_frame' has wrong type: expected PROGBITS, is SHT_LOPROC+1e section [32] '.debug_frame' has unsupported type 1879048222 section [33] '.debug_str' has wrong type: expected PROGBITS, is SHT_LOPROC+1e section [33] '.debug_str' has unsupported type 1879048222 section [34] '.debug_loc' has wrong type: expected PROGBITS, is SHT_LOPROC+1e section [34] '.debug_loc' has unsupported type 1879048222 section [35] '.debug_ranges' has wrong type: expected PROGBITS, is SHT_LOPROC+1e section [35] '.debug_ranges' has unsupported type 1879048222 section [36] '.gnu.attributes': offset 15: unrecognized attribute tag 4 section [39] '.symtab': symbol 85: st_value out of bounds section [39] '.symtab': symbol 89: non-local section symbol section [39] '.symtab': symbol 157: st_value out of bounds FAIL run-strip-strmerge.sh (exit status: 1) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=818485

Note that the mips backend hasn't been submitted upstream and so it Debian only. Those errors come from elflint, which is run after the actual strmerge test to see if the resulting ELF file looks sane. Apparently MIPS has a couple of things elflint doesn't know about. It would be nice if someone who knows MIPS would help create a proper backend for it upstream.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. 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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
