Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
Description of problem:
kexec-tools-2.0.20-6.el8 was built against elfutils-0.176-5.el8, where libebl.a was provided by elfutils-devel. This does not work with elfutils-0.178-2.el8 (currently tagged rhel-8.2.0-candidate), where it fails with:

elfutils-0.178-2.el8
kexec-tools-2.0.20-6.el8
How reproducible:
Easily.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. brew build --scratch rhel-8.2.0-candidate git://pkgs.devel.redhat.com/rpms/kexec-tools?#8dd702e1fc8fc68b654e076a492072a8b1a271b1
Actual results:
The build fails:
https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=25013281
Expected results:
The build succeeds.
Additional info:
This bug prevents Covscan from scanning kexec-tools automatically.
Note that it could be a bug (or unintended incompatibility) of elfutils that libebl.a suddenly disappeared from elfutils-devel.
