Having looked at the spec file, the only extra things the stock
specs do that the overriding specs don’t is:
*link:
[…] %{!static|static-pie:--eh-frame-hdr} […] %{static-pie:-static -pie
--no-dynamic-linker -z text} […]
instead of:
[…] %{static-pie:-static -pie --no-dynamic-linker} […]
The -Wl,-z,text makes TEXTRELs an error. Granted.
The -Wl,--eh-frame-hdr is added for anything that’s not a normal
static executable, however adding that to a musl build doesn’t
fix the problem either.
A bit of gdb-ing shows the problem, though: the source code has…
#define Ttypeset "typeset"
#define Tdr "-r"
//… (a variant of this is used for string sharing on ancient Unix)
static const char *initcoms[] = {
Ttypeset, Tdr, initvsn, NULL,
Ttypeset, Tdx, "HOME", TPATH, TSHELL, NULL,
[…]
};
It then iterates over these commands with:
for (wp = initcoms; *wp != NULL; wp++) {
c_builtin(wp);
while (*wp != NULL)
wp++;
}
This is where the extra output happens:
(gdb) print initcoms
$3 = {0x3fff7fc14a4 "typeset", 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x3fff7fc14a4 "typeset", 0x0,
0x3fff7fc0478 "HOME",
[…]
Notice the nullptrs there where string pointers are expected.
It shows the same output when just loading the executable, i.e. this
isn’t a runtime issue.
Linking the exact same .o files with the exact same command minus
-static-pie gives:
(gdb) print initcoms
$1 = {0x103cb34 "typeset", 0x103e368 <u_ops+128> "-r",
0x103e73c <initvsn> "KSH_VERSION=@(#)MIRBSD KSH R59 2024/02/01 +Debian", 0x0,
0x103cb34 "typeset",
But this does seem to be a toolchain bug: adding -static-pie to the
glibc dynamic-pie link command and…
(gdb) print initcoms
$1 = {0xda494 "typeset", 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0xda494 "typeset", 0x0, 0xd942c "HOME",
0xda7d8 "PATH",
Now I (or someone) is going to have to reduce that to a testcase, so
we can detect static-pie viability before it’s committed to being used…
