Many of the tests fail with issues similar to the following: > > /home/Chris/Stuff/non-GNU/libpipeline/build/tests/../../libpipeline-1.2.6/tests/exec.c:114:(.text+0x121): > relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol > `_ck_assert_failed'
The "relocation truncated to fit" gcc error message on 64 bit systems is a red herring. It's in fact just what it says, there's an undefined symbol. Off the top of my head I don't know where ck_assert_failed is defined, probably some library, but the leading underscore is suspicious. The 64 bit ABI does not prepend underscores to symbol names as the 32 bit ABI does.
