Package: binutils Version: 2.45-7 Severity: standard Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, The linker (ld.bfd) crashes with a segmentation fault when building shared libraries on loongarch64 due to an assertion failure in elfnn-loongarch.c:2716. * What led up to the situation? Attempting to build x265 4.1 (and other projects using shared libraries) on Debian unstable/loongarch64 with binutils 2.45-7. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Built x265 4.1 from source: tar xzf x265_4.1.tar.gz cd x265_4.1/build/linux cmake ../../source make The build proceeds through compilation but fails during the linking stage of the shared library (libx265.so) with: /usr/bin/ld: BFD (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.45 assertion fail ../../bfd/elfnn-loongarch.c:2716 collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault] compilation terminated. * What was the outcome of this action? The linker crashes. The static library builds successfully, but the shared library build fails. * What outcome did you expect instead? The shared library should link successfully without segfaulting. Additional context: - The error occurs specifically with R_LARCH_PCALA_HI20 relocations - Multiple objects trigger this: search.cpp.o, entropy.cpp.o, quant.cpp.o - Error message: "relocation R_LARCH_PCALA_HI20 against `<symbol>` can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC" - All code is already compiled with -fPIC (verified in build logs) Workaround: Building with -DENABLE_SHARED=OFF (static library only) works. This bug affects multiple compilation benchmarks and projects that build shared libraries on LoongArch64.
