Adding gcc-14 as a task just in case. Adding qemu as a task to make sure we track the impact of this bug.

QEMU is being affected by this problem, as can be seen in the following build log: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/743528322/buildlog_ubuntu-oracular- amd64.qemu_1%3A9.0.2+ds-2ubuntu1~ppa6_BUILDING.txt.gz The interesting part is this one: ... powerpc-linux-gnu-objcopy -O srec u-boot u-boot.srec powerpc-linux-gnu-objcopy --gap-fill=0xff -O binary u-boot u-boot.bin powerpc-linux-gnu-objcopy: warning: u-boot has a corrupt string table index powerpc-linux-gnu-objcopy: unable to modify 'u-boot' due to errors make[1]: *** [Makefile:300: u-boot.srec] Error 1 ... So far I have confirmed that using the previous versions of binutils (2.42.90.20240720-2ubuntu1) and gcc-14 (14.2.0-1ubuntu1) make the QEMU build work again. Using powerpc-linux-gnu-readelf to compare the u-boot binary generated by the "good" binutils+gcc against the "bad" ones, I see: Good binary: Section Headers: [Nr] Name Type Addr Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al [ 0] NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 1] .text PROGBITS fff80000 000080 046098 00 AX 0 0 16 [ 2] .rodata PROGBITS fffc6098 046118 00b9f9 00 A 0 0 4 [ 3] .reloc PROGBITS fffd1b00 051b80 003678 00 WA 0 0 4 [ 4] .data PROGBITS fffd5178 0551f8 004c94 00 WA 0 0 4 [ 5] .u_boot_cmd PROGBITS fffd9e0c 059e8c 0003d8 00 WA 0 0 4 [ 6] .bootpg PROGBITS fffff000 07f080 0002bc 00 AX 0 0 1 [ 7] .resetvec PROGBITS fffffffc 08007c 000004 00 AX 0 0 1 [ 8] .bss NOBITS 00000100 080100 012ba0 00 WA 0 0 256 [ 9] .debug_line PROGBITS 00000000 080080 045fed 00 0 0 1 [10] .debug_line_str PROGBITS 00000000 0c606d 000100 01 MS 0 0 1 [11] .debug_info PROGBITS 00000000 0c616d 084c69 00 0 0 1 [12] .debug_abbrev PROGBITS 00000000 14add6 0167bc 00 0 0 1 [13] .debug_aranges PROGBITS 00000000 161598 003820 00 0 0 8 [14] .debug_str PROGBITS 00000000 164db8 00fb90 01 MS 0 0 1 [15] .debug_rnglists PROGBITS 00000000 174948 005518 00 0 0 1 [16] .debug_loclists PROGBITS 00000000 179e60 03b8d0 00 0 0 1 [17] .comment PROGBITS 00000000 1b5730 000025 01 MS 0 0 1 [18] .gnu.attributes GNU_ATTRIBUTES 00000000 1b5755 000010 00 0 0 1 [19] .symtab SYMTAB 00000000 1b5768 007b40 10 20 537 4 [20] .strtab STRTAB 00000000 1bd2a8 006d85 00 0 0 1 [21] .shstrtab STRTAB 00000000 1c402d 0000e2 00 0 0 1 Bad binary: Section Headers: [Nr] Name Type Addr Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al [ 0] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 1] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 2] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 3] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 4] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 5] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 6] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 7] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 8] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 9] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [10] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [11] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [12] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [13] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [14] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [15] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [16] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [17] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [18] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [19] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [20] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [21] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [22] <no-strings> NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/+bug/2077036/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
