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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.
Created attachment 477723[details]
objects and script to reproduce the crash on rhel6.0 x86_64
Description of problem:
Testing a build on rhel6, I noticed the following:
gcc -o gen-LINUX_V6/prosody_thread ../libutil/gen-LINUX_V6/generic_io.o gen-LINUX_V6/prosody_thread.o -lpthread 2>&1 | t0 errs/gen-LINUX_V6/prosody_thread
collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped
/usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `../libutil/gen-LINUX_V6/generic_io.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output
/usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `gen-LINUX_V6/prosody_thread.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.11.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
everytime, with attached test case
Steps to Reproduce:
1. untar attached source, run crash.sh on x86_64 arch
2.
3.
Actual results:
[root@localhost ld_crash]# ./crash.sh
collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped
/usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `generic_io.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output
/usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `prosody_thread.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output
Expected results:
Not sure, probably a successful link :) or another error but no crash.
Additional info:
Anthony Symons,
Does using the gcc command line option -m32, fix your problem?

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Even though this is a user-error mixing objects of different types, the linker still shouldn't segfault. Instead it should gracefully exit after issuing the error.
I have uploaded a proposed patch to fix this bug. It is based on a patch applied to the mainline FSF binutils sources. (Thanks to Jeff Law for extracting this part of the patch for me).
The patch also includes a new linker testcase that reproduces the bug without requiring pre-built binaries. With the full patch applied and the linker testsuite run for an x86_64-* targeted set of the binutils the following new entries will appear in the ld.sum file:
PASS: build 32-bit object
PASS: build 64-bit object
PASS: link mixed objects
Without the bugfix part of the patch applied (binutils-rh676194.patch) but with the new testcase applied, the following new entries should appear in the ld.sum file:
PASS: build 32-bit object
PASS: build 64-bit object
FAIL: link mixed objects
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated

If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report.
