Public bug reported: qemu-slof stage1 crashes when linked with wily's binutils 2.25.1. stage2.c's TOC string references end up pointing to the wrong place and it branches to invalid memory.
The breaking bfd change is a27e685 "Align .TOC. for PowerPC64". Aligning the TOC to 256 bytes rather than 8 fixes the crash. ** Affects: slof (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: William Grant (wgrant) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: slof (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => William Grant (wgrant) ** Changed in: slof (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to slof in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1504357 Title: qemu-slof stage1 crashes when linked with binutils 2.25.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slof/+bug/1504357/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
