Package: binutils Version: 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7 Severity: important
Attempts to build firefox-3.0.3 from the mozilla.org source tree fail with GPREL16 relocation errors on the Alpha at the point where libxul.so is built. Adding "-Wl,--no-relax" to DSO_LDOPTS results in a successful build. This bug has been reported elsewhere in different contexts, and has existed since at least version 2.17 back in 2007. It has been suggested in various forums that the relax option is unreliable and should not be enabled by default. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: alpha Kernel: Linux 2.6.27 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages binutils depends on: ii libc6.1 2.7-14 GNU C Library: Shared libraries binutils recommends no packages.
