Bug#810885: libelf-dev requires libc >= 2.22
Package: libelf-dev Version: 0.165-1 Severity: serious Dear Maintainer, the newest upload of libelf-dev doesn't work with libc 2.21-6 and thus breaks the build of mesa. I've reproduced the FTBFS with the following minimal testcase: cat > elf-ftbfs.c << EOF #include EOF gcc -c elf-ftbfs.c In file included from /usr/include/gelf.h:32:0, from elf-ftbfs.c:1: /usr/include/libelf.h:280:8: error: unknown type name ‘Elf32_Chdr’ extern Elf32_Chdr *elf32_getchdr (Elf_Scn *__scn); ^ /usr/include/libelf.h:281:8: error: unknown type name ‘Elf64_Chdr’ extern Elf64_Chdr *elf64_getchdr (Elf_Scn *__scn); ^ In file included from elf-ftbfs.c:1:0: /usr/include/gelf.h:89:9: error: unknown type name ‘Elf64_Chdr’ typedef Elf64_Chdr GElf_Chdr; ^ Using libc 2.22 from experimental fixes this issue. It seems that this implicit dependency on libc 2.22 was introduced in this upstream change [1]. jcristau found the corresponding libc patch [2]. Please consider reverting the upstream change until we have libc 2.22 in unstable.

As far as I understand the binutils changes in testing and unstable now generate this, causing elfutils in testing and unstable to break on arches that don't have async unwind tables (#746516 / #746426). As far as I understand I need to either support that or have the async unwind tables. But maybe I can fix the installed headers to not require a newer glibc version ... Kurt

I just posted an upstream fix to do this: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/elfutils-devel% 40lists.fedorahosted.org/message/2FU5HOHMLA47PPD44NQQPTNHDZL7RNPK/ I tried to CC this bug report, but that seems to not have worked. Sorry for the breakage. I added a new test to make sure we catch such issues earlier next time.
