Package: libtool Version: 2.4.2-1.11 Severity: normal When I run "./configure" with MPFR, the generated config.log file contains binary data:
configure:9458: /usr/bin/nm -B conftest.o \| sed -n -e 's/^.*[ ]\([ABCDGIRSTW][ABCDGIRSTW]*\)[ ][ ]*\([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*\)$/^A ^B ^B/p' | sed '/ __gnu_lto/d' \> conftest.nm where ^A and ^B are the ASCII characters of code 1 and 2 respectively. Thus, the "file" utility thinks that this is a binary file, so that "less" + "lesspipe" mangles the file. Rather annoying! The generated "libtool" script contains: global_symbol_pipe="sed -n -e 's/^.*[ ]\\([ABCDGIRSTW][ABCDGIRSTW]*\\)[ ][ ]*\\([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*\\)\$/\\1 \\2 \\2/p' | sed '/ __gnu_lto/d'" So, I suppose that the binary data come from the \\1 and \\2. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages libtool depends on: ii autotools-dev 20140911.1 ii clang-3.4 [c-compiler] 1:3.4.2-15 ii clang-3.5 [c-compiler] 1:3.5.2-2 ii clang-3.6 [c-compiler] 1:3.6.2-1 ii cpp 4:5.2.1-4 ii file 1:5.22+15-2 ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:5.2.1-4 ii gcc-4.4 [c-compiler] 4.4.7-8 ii gcc-4.5 [c-compiler] 4.5.4-1 ii gcc-4.6 [c-compiler] 4.6.4-7 ii gcc-4.7 [c-compiler] 4.7.4-3 ii gcc-4.8 [c-compiler] 4.8.5-1 ii gcc-4.9 [c-compiler] 4.9.3-3 ii gcc-5 [c-compiler] 5.2.1-15 ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.19-19 ii tcc [c-compiler] 0.9.27~git20140923.9d7fb33-3 Versions of packages libtool recommends: ii libltdl-dev 2.4.2-1.11 Versions of packages libtool suggests: ii autoconf 2.69-8 ii automake [automaken] 1:1.15-3 pn gcj-jdk <none> ii gfortran 4:5.2.1-4 ii gfortran-4.7 [fortran95-compiler] 4.7.4-3 ii gfortran-4.8 [fortran95-compiler] 4.8.5-1 ii gfortran-4.9 [fortran95-compiler] 4.9.3-3 ii gfortran-5 [fortran95-compiler] 5.2.1-15 ii libtool-doc 2.4.2-1.11 -- no debconf information
