Package: binutils Version: 2.16.1-2 Severity: important Attempting to link statically against libc (e.g., with gcc -static) fails with errors of the form
/usr/bin/ld: __libc_errno: TLS definition in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/x.y.z/../../../../lib64/libc.a(errno.o) section .tbss mismatches non-TLS reference in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/x.y.z/../../../../lib64/libc.a(check_fds.o) /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/x.y.z/../../../../lib64/libc.a: could not read symbols: Bad value Since glibc hasn't changed recently and this happens with multiple compiler versions (and should be compiler-independent anyway), I'm inclined to suspect the new version of binutils. I don't know whether the bug is platform-specific. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.2 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages binutils depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an binutils recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
