I am unable to reproduce the issue with Fedora 39 binutils builds either, fc38 seems to be the only affected as far as my experiments go. This is the only failing test from the upstream test suite, which makes it the only failing test in the build gating test run. Should the fix be cheap, it would be a good contribution to smooth gating out. Reproducible: Always
Fixed in binutils-2.39-16.fc38. Note - in order to keep things simple I have only applied a small part of the patch referenced in the description. Specifically the part that fixes the linker testsuite so that it no longer generates a FAIL result for the "ar with versioned solib" test. There are other places in the binutils sources where egrep is used, but these do not prevent the build from completing, nor do they generate failures in the testsuite.
Fedora Linux 38 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-05-21. Fedora Linux 38 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
