Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-18 Severity: serious While the details previously mailed to me have alas now been lost, I believe there is an upstream libc fix for s390 which is not yet in the Debian package. In short, libpthread must be compiled with a certain pic option (-fPIC or -fpic, not sure which) to prevent the following relocation problem when compiling lam, for example:
cc -shared -Wl,-soname=liblam.so.4 -o debian/tmp/usr/lib/liblam.so.4.0 tmp/*/*.o -lpthread -lutil -ldl /usr/lib/libpthread_nonshared.a(pthread_atfork.os)(.text+0x24): In function `__pthread_atfork': /build/buildd/glibc-2.3.2.ds1/build-tree/glibc-2.3.2/linuxthreads/pthread_atfork.c:39: relocation truncated to fit: R_390_GOT12 __dso_handle collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Hopefully Gerhard can give more information if needed. Please let me know if this is a quick fix for Sarge, or whether I should attempt a workaround in lam.
