Package: binutils
Version: 2.20.1-16
Severity: critical
As explained in this post
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-ia64/2011/03/msg00017.html),
gnome-settings-daemon is broken on IA-64 (Itanium) since release
2.24.1-1 dated 2008-12-30, not because of a source code change, but
because of a change in the flags passed to ld by the debian/rules
build script of the gnome-settings-daemon source package.
Simply removing -Wl,-z,defs from the LDFLAGS of the debian/rules
script produces a working gnome-settings-daemon binary. This has been
checked with current gnome-settings-daemon-2.30.2-2 and
gnome-settings-daemon-2.24.1-1 (first broken release). Cross-testing
by adding this flag to gnome-settings-daemon-2.22.2.1-2 (last working
release) produces a broken binary, proving that -z defs flag is the
culprit.
What's unclear to me:
- is this issue limited to gnome-settings-daemon or does it reveal
something more serious and other packages built with -z defs flag are
affected too (hence this bug report)?
- if other packages are affected too, is this issue specific to IA-64 or not?
>From http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities, I've set bug
severity to critical, as ld breaks an unrelated software
(gnome-settings-daemon in the present case).
By the way, with currently broken gnome-settings-daemon-2.30.2-2 and
gdm3 window manager, CPU power is completely eaten by running
instances of gnome-settings-daemon. Even worse, each time a user logs
in/off, additional gnome-settings-daemon processes are forked, leading
to a completely unusable system. And unfortunately, a standard user
doesn't have sufficient permissions to kill the CPU-eating
gnome-settings-daemon processes (although this was possible with gdm;
but gdm will be dropped in next Debian Wheezy).

Description:
gnome-settings-daemon - daemon handling the GNOME session settings
gnome-settings-daemon-dev - Headers for building applications communicating
with gnome-settin
Closes: 537572
Changes:
gnome-settings-daemon (3.2.2-1) experimental; urgency=low
.
[ Sjoerd Simons ]
* New upstream release (3.2.2-1)
* debian/control.in: Add liblcms2-dev to the build-depends for display color
management
* debian/gnome-settings-daemon.install: Also install the helper service files
.
[ Josselin Mouette ]
* Disable -z defs on ia64. This should really be avoided because it
can cause runtime errors, but since binutils won’t be fixed it
causes runtime errors anyway. Closes: #537572.
.
[ Sjoerd Simons ]
* Set -z,defs *before* setting --warn-unresolved-symbols in the linker flags
otherwise the build will fail with unresolved symbol *errors*
