+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #156341 +++ Description of problem: When eu-strip writes separate debuginfo from an ET_REL object such as a kernel module (.ko file), it doesn't fix up the relocs referring to section symbols removed from the symbol table. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.106-3 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kernel-debuginfo package. 2. Try to use foo.ko.debug. 3. See bad relocs. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: This is a blocker for SystemTAP.
This is fixed upstream/for Fedora (Bug #156341). Needs backport fix or perhaps just upgrade of elfutils.
The RHEL4 eu-strip actually just uses the binutils objcopy/strip. The binutils strip-to-debug works differently and the debuginfo produced should be fine for systemtap.
Removing from proposed list.
Turns out I was wrong. I confused myself trying to make sense of the insane elfutils multi-stream errata situation in RHEL. In fact, the elfutils being used for RHEL4 builds is the real non-stub one, and eu-strip is the real one with this bug rather than the binutils wrapper.
This is an unrelated bug. This error message is never the failure mode of the eu-strip issue.
As long as the buildroots don't change, this is not an issue for RHEL4.
0.97.1-3 should fix this.
An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
