Unfortunately, the workaround prescribed, adding hardening-wrapper as a build dependency doesn't always work, and it's not clear why it does work occasionally. First, in order for hardened-cc to do anything at all, DEB_BUILD_HARDENING needs to be set, and second, if it detects '-static' or other position independent executable incompatible arguments, it only prevents itself from adding -pie; it does not filter it out from the command line if it's already there. In these cases, -pie is already present, having been added via DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS or some other way in the debian/rules file.
The most proper way that I can see to address this would be to rely on the default dpkg-buildflags to get the basic level of protections. Then to get all the protections, build depend on hardening-wrapper and export DEB_BUILD_HARDENING=1 in debian/rules. I've attached a debdiff that I've verified builds on all available architectures for ureadahead, since that package is also hitting this issue. The least invasive workaround would be to export MALLOC_CHECK=2 at build time (i.e. in debian/rules), as this causes glibc to abort without attempting to produce a backtrace when it detects internal malloc corruption. This unfortunately still leaves configure believing that 'gcc -static' doesn't work, but it at least causes builds not to hang. ** Patch added: "ureadahead_0.100.0-17.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/+bug/1266492/+attachment/3961491/+files/ureadahead_0.100.0-17.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution-data-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1266492 Title: ld:i386 crashes with -static -fPIE -pie To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eglibc/+bug/1266492/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
