Source: libgc Version: 1:7.2d-6.3 Severity: important libgc is using an embedded copy of libatomic-ops (version 7.2), whereas 7.4.2 is available separately in the Debian archive. This package *really* should be fixed to use the system version rather than the internal one, or at the very least switched to use a newer version.
The particular problem(s) that this will cause are ARMv7 (armhf) binaries crashing on ARMv8 machines with "Illegal instruction" due to usage of asm code for barriers that was already deprecated on ARMv7. Those opcodes are no longer supported on ARMv8. I'm told that kernel exception support for this is coming, but not yet upstreamed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
