Hi,

I have encountered a failure running live-build that I could use
some help debugging.

Using the instructions in the LiveBuild wiki page:

https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/CrossCompile/LiveBuild

the procedure fails during the adduser step. The failure is:

I: create linaro user
Can't set $0 with prctl(): Bad address at /usr/sbin/adduser line 86.

Here is the perl code around line 86 in adduser:
----
my %config;                     # configuration hash

my @defaults = ("/etc/adduser.conf");
my $nogroup_id = getgrnam("nogroup") || 65534;
$0 =~ s+.*/++;                  <<<<<<<<< Line 86 >>>>>>>>>>>
----

This is the call to adduser from the 01-setup_user_linaro.chroot
script that causes the problem:

adduser --gecos linaro --disabled-login linaro

The funny thing about this failure, if I chroot into the build
area and run that command manually, everything works fine.

1st, what is that perl command doing?
2nd, anybody have any ideas on what would cause this failure?

TIA,
Matt
