Package: libc6
Version: 2.21-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
When attempting to compile a simple C program, the link stage fails with an
unrecognized relocation error.
This problem seems to have appeared in the latest version, 2.21-4 (and is also
present in 2.22-0experimental which I tested before submitting); it was not
present in 2.19-22 which I was using prior to tonight. When using 2.19-22
(pinned to that version after installing the package from a CD), it works
normally. When upgraded, it fails as per below.
The problem manifested in a much more complicated build process, but I can
duplicate it with a program as simple as this:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
fprintf(stdout, "Hello, world.\n");
return(0);
}
When compiling, the following error happens:
$ gcc hello.c -o hello
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o:
unrecognized relocation (0x2a) in section `.init'
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The expected behavior is for the program to compile normally without error.
