RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-11-02 15:42:01 UTC 
ocaml-libguestfs-devel is part of the libguestfs source package.

Unless we suspect that the OCaml compiler is at fault (which seems
very unlikely based on the description), this should have been filed
under libguestfs, and therefore I'm changing the component.  If it's
wrong for some reason please change it back with explanation.
Comment 5 YongkuiGuo 2017-11-03 03:47:04 UTC 
Reproduced with the following packages:
binutils-2.27-19.base.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.36.10-1.el7.x86_64

Steps:

1. On rhel7.4(x86_64) host
#mkdir /dev/shm/delme; pushd /dev/shm/delme

2. Download the package of ocaml-libguestfs-devel-1.36.10-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
#rpm2cpio ocaml-libguestfs-devel-1.36.10-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | cpio -dim

3. #find . -type f -exec readelf -r -W {} \; > relocs.out

4. #grep -e GOTPCRELX -e GOT32X relocs.out

Comment 7 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-11-03 12:28:39 UTC 
I verified that this appears to be fixed in the
ocaml-libguestfs-devel-1.36.10-2.el7.x86_64.rpm package.
Comment 8 YongkuiGuo 2017-11-06 03:04:40 UTC 
Verified with the following packages:
binutils-2.27-19.base.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.36.10-1.el7.x86_64

Steps:

1. On rhel7.4(x86_64) host
#mkdir /dev/shm/delme; pushd /dev/shm/delme

2. Download the package of ocaml-libguestfs-devel-1.36.10-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
#rpm2cpio ocaml-libguestfs-devel-1.36.10-2.el7.x86_64.rpm | cpio -dim

3. #find . -type f -exec readelf -r -W {} \; > relocs.out

4. #grep -e GOTPCRELX -e GOT32X relocs.out

In step 4, there is no relocs found. So verified this bug.
