The ld segfault happens on amd64 as well; since the problem is caused by
the linker, I'm investigating
the problem using the direct call to ld stripped down to the minimal set
of parameters:
ld -soname=libc.so.6 -uwctomb -ufclose -ureboot -upthread_mutex_lock -ufreopen64
-ugetmntent -usleep -usigaddset -uiconv -ugetresgid -uumask -usend
-usched_setparam
-u__fxstat -uisspace -ulocaltime -uiopl -ugetppid -uutime -ustrnlen -utcsetpgrp
-urecvfrom -usched_get_priority_max -ustderr -uiswspace -uklogctl -usnprintf
-umemset -usync -u_dl_vsym -usyslog -u_libc_intl_domainname -ustrcasestr
-u__ctype_get_mb_cur_max -umktemp -utcgetattr -ustrchrnul
-u_nss_files_parse_spent
-uopenlog -uaccess -ugrantpt -usetlogmask -u__dcgettext -u__clone -uioperm
-umunmap -usocketpair -uh_errno -o
/home/zino/gtk-miniiso_orig/installer/build/tmp/gtk-miniiso/tree/lib/libc.so.6-so
/usr/lib/libc_pic/soinit.o /usr/lib//libc_pic.a /usr/lib/libc_pic/sofini.o
/lib//ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --version-script=/usr/lib//libc_pic.map -lgcc
-L./tmp/gtk-miniiso/tree/lib -L./tmp/gtk-miniiso/tree/usr/lib
-L./tmp/gtk-miniiso/udeblibs
-L/lib/ -L/usr/lib/ -L/usr/X11R6/lib/ -L./tmp/gtk-miniiso/tree//usr/lib/cdebconf
-L./tmp/gtk-miniiso/tree//usr/lib
if -uh_errno is removed from the previous command, the segfault does not
happen
I recompiled ld starting from binutils source package and here's a backtrace:
