Bug#537572: Still the same with gnome-settings-daemon 2.30.2-4
Hi, FWIW amid the reports merged with this one, there is one person using i386 and another using mipsel. I don't know for i386 and mipsel, but here are my investigations for ia64. From the point of view of fixing this in binutils, it would be _very_ helpful to have a collection of object files and e.g. two linker command lines that should produce the same binary but do not. At the moment, a person investigating this has to get to know the gnome-settings-daemon build system and it is hard to debug or pass upstream. Alternatively, if this is a regression than a regression range would be helpful. gnome-settings-daemon first appears (at least on ia64) in Debian 5.0 Lenny. So I started with a fresh Lenny install on a spare HDD. From there, the older binutils package that I can install without breaking the whole system is binutils_2.17cvs20070426-1_ia64. Guess what? This old version already produces a broken gnome-settings-daemon with -z flag passed to the linker, and a working one without the flag :-( For further debugging, I can thus provide the locally rebuilt (with binutils_2.17cvs20070426-1_ia64) gnome-settings-daemon_2.22.2.1-2_ia64.deb binary packages with and without -z flag passed to linker. I've also kept the build directories of these two packages if preferred. As an alternative, I can also provide these packages but from a daily-updated Debian Testing Wheezy install, with up-to-date binutils and gnome-settings-daemon packages if preferred. About the gnome-settings-daemon build system, maybe Josselin can give us a clue? I have no idea how it works.

Hi, Josselin Mouette wrote: The -z defs flag should not have any impact on the produced binary, it is a flag to raise errors that we want to report (and we want the build to fail in this case). Hence this is an ia64-specific bug in binutils. FWIW amid the reports merged with this one, there is one person using i386 and another using mipsel.
