Package: libc6 Version: 2.11.2-2 Severity: important The jpilot package ./configure script generate a test program that does not finish.
A short version of the problematic source code is: #include <dlfcn.h> int main () { void *self = dlopen (0, RTLD_GLOBAL | RTLD_LAZY); return 0; } And is compiled using: $ gcc -o conftest -g -Wall -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -Wl,--export-dynamic -static conftest.c -ldl conftest.c: In function ‘main’: conftest.c:5: warning: unused variable ‘self’ /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccToBZZa.o: in function main:conftest.c:5: warning: Using `dlopen' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking The warning may be an indication that something strange is happening. Then the execution: $ ./conftest But never returns and the ./configure never finishes. [...] checking whether the gcc linker (/usr/bin/ld -m elf_x86_64) supports shared libraries... yes checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in... no checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate checking for shl_load... no checking for shl_load in -ldld... no checking for dlopen... no checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes checking whether a program can dlopen itself... yes checking whether a statically linked program can dlopen itself... And the execution is now blocked forever. I have the problem when using testing/squeeze. I can't reproduce it by running ./configure on unstable/sid. In fact I can't recompile the sample code on sid using the same command. In sid I have: $ gcc -o conftest -g -Wall -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -Wl,--export-dynamic -static conftest.c -ldl conftest.c: In function ‘main’: conftest.c:5: warning: unused variable ‘self’ /tmp/ccQplQtT.o: In function `main': /home/rousseau/conftest.c:5: warning: Using 'dlopen' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking /usr/bin/ld: dynamic STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol `strcmp' with pointer equality in `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../lib/libc.a(strcmp.o)' can not be used when making an executable; recompile with -fPIE and relink with -pie collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I can do additionnal tests if needed.
