           Summary: Crash when trying to build Firefox/Seamonkey with
                    Linux Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gold
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden


The following happens:

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b10pre) Gecko/20110121
Firefox/4.0b10pre SeaMonkey/2.1b2pre
Build Identifier: 20110128084136

After the fix for bug 628988 I get this:

failed.

Reproducible: Always




Using 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10  (gcc-4.4.real (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) 4.4.5) 
with the Gold Linker (link (GNU coreutils) 8.5.) Disabling elfhack works,
however


And the answer from mozilla is the following:

Could you attach your test.so ?

Run the gcc command (the one that make displays) by hand.

Created attachment 508041 [details]
test.so

OK, attached test.so as requested

[reply] [-] Comment 5 Mike Hommey [:glandium] 2011-01-28 23:49:46 PST

Okay, so this is due to the GNU_RELRO section being weirdly defined. Its end is
not page aligned as it is supposed to be (and elfhack expects it to be), and it
ends in the middle of the .got.plt section.

[reply] [-] Comment 6 Bengt-Erik Soderstrom 2011-01-29 07:36:22 PST

So, for the time being we make it without elfhack (ac_add_options
--disable-elf-hack).
