Bug#754336: qemu-mips-static doesn't recognize ELF header correctly
Control: retitle -1 qemu-mips-static doesn't recognize broken ELF headers I'm retitling this bugreport to reflect reality. Qemu implements its own ELF parser, and it looks like it is a bit stricter than the one in linux kernel. I'm not sure whenever to treat it as a bug or a feature. And these binaries are indeed broken. Qemu can be made less strict ofcourse. I'm also forwarding this upstream, let's see what upstream will say...

> I checked your image, and noticed that only the binaries which are reported as having a corrupted section header produce this error message. first time we hit such a situation, it must be something in your device or uclibc (and maybe kernel as well). Google can't find any similar cases either. And since it is apparently a situation unique to this (kind of) device, I'm lowering the severity of this bugreport. Thanks, /mjt No really... The bcm6358 is part of the the bcm63xx series. Those SoC are used in most professional router/consumer modems. It is used in all consumer modems in France (with every models from ISP). While the kernel contain proprietary drivers it's source code have been released by the manufacturer at http://www.efixo.net/gpl/ . Except some .ko delivered as binary, there is nothing in particular. the µClibc version is definitely unpatched. A complete toolchain for building a very older flash image is available at http://www.efixo.net/ The Neufox is one of consumer ADSL modem which use an SoC from the broadcom bcm63xx family. regards.. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'm in no way an expert in mips or file format issues like this. So unless you talk with upstream directly, there's little chance I can do anything with it. More, your case is unique, because it is the first time we hit such a situation, it must be something in your device or uclibc (and maybe kernel as well). Google can't find any similar cases either.
