Bug#537572: Still the same with gnome-settings-daemon 2.30.2-4

2011-08-30 Thread Émeric Maschino
Hi,

 FWIW amid the reports merged with this one, there is one person using
 i386 and another using mipsel.

I don't know for i386 and mipsel, but here are my investigations for ia64.

 From the point of view of fixing this in binutils, it would be _very_
 helpful to have a collection of object files and e.g. two linker
 command lines that should produce the same binary but do not.  At the
 moment, a person investigating this has to get to know the
 gnome-settings-daemon build system and it is hard to debug or pass
 upstream.  Alternatively, if this is a regression than a regression
 range would be helpful.

gnome-settings-daemon first appears (at least on ia64) in Debian 5.0 Lenny.
So I started with a fresh Lenny install on a spare HDD.
From there, the older binutils package that I can install without
breaking the whole system is binutils_2.17cvs20070426-1_ia64.
Guess what? This old version already produces a broken
gnome-settings-daemon with -z flag passed to the linker, and a working
one without the flag :-(

For further debugging, I can thus provide the locally rebuilt (with
binutils_2.17cvs20070426-1_ia64)
gnome-settings-daemon_2.22.2.1-2_ia64.deb binary packages with and
without -z flag passed to linker. I've also kept the build directories
of these two packages if preferred.

As an alternative, I can also provide these packages but from a
daily-updated Debian Testing Wheezy install, with up-to-date
binutils and gnome-settings-daemon packages if preferred.

About the gnome-settings-daemon build system, maybe Josselin can give
us a clue? I have no idea how it works.

Best regards,

 Émeric

 Hi,
 
 I've looked at the source package: the debian/build script still
 passes -z defs flags to ld, thus producing a broken binary, as
 expected :-(

The -z defs flag should not have any impact on the produced binary, it
is a flag to raise errors that we want to report (and we want the build
to fail in this case).

Hence this is an ia64-specific bug in binutils.

Cheers,
