I was probably wrong -- it seems this is not related to running as restricted user per se.
Using ldd shows no reference to libgcc_s in the binary, even if I build from source and explicitly add '-lgcc_s' to the linker command line. strace shows no signs of using libgcc_s unless put into the preload environment. And ntpd always comes to a grinding halt when not run as root unless the preload environment is used. Running as root does not crash just by lucky chance, I think. I get the same results with gcc-4.7 and gcc-4.8 on a freshly installed x64/amd64 Saucy. As a workaround, I put libgcc_s.so.1 into /etc/ld.so.preload, since this should help most applications that run into this problem. Though this only cures the symptom: It's still not clear WHY there is no reference to the SO in the binary... Could there be some toolchain trouble? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40285 Title: libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-3.3/+bug/40285/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
