Hi During the ARM ports Bof at DebConf15, we (Paul Gevers and I) mentioned an issue we were experiencing with fpc/lazarus builds on ARM.
We have now found that the problem is related to the '-z relro' hardening flag. If we build Lazarus with the Debian default hardening flags, which include '-z relro', then lazbuild appears to stall. If we rebuild Lazarus and filter out '-z relro' from the linker flags, lazbuild works as expected. I would appreciate if you have any ideas why relro could cause the call from around line 510 in Lazarus' ide/exttools.pas to never return: Thread.Synchronize(Thread,@NotifyHandlerNewOutput); The issue was reported in bug #793991 [1] and forwarded upstream [2].
