Description Mark Wielaard 2017-03-20 15:49:05 UTC
A sanity check for readelf dynamic segments always triggers for debuginfo files, even when no operation is done that prints information from the program headers or dynamic segment:

readelf: Error: the dynamic segment offset + size exceeds the size of the file

Unfortunately rpm does various invocations of readelf (-S or -n) on separate .debug files which have a NOBITS .dynamic section. Producing a build.log with lots of errors. That is slightly confusing.

Patch proposed upstream:

Patched in:  binutils-2.28-5.fc27

Comment 2 Mark Wielaard 2017-03-20 23:27:45 UTC
Looks good thanks. The fc27 build.logs no longer contain spurious readelf error messages anymore. I would be nice if the same patch went into f26 to silence them there too.
