You are right. I apologize, I so much did not expect testing packages on the system I am working on that I was in denial of libc6 not being the stable version! I don’t remember why I have sid/stretch packages (I really should not have).
$ dpkg -l libc6:amd64 […] ii libc6:amd64 2.21-1 amd64 GNU C Library: Shared libraries $ md5sum /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o 4ca8dc3c02f848753e5a5317fe78fb14 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o I have downgraded everything to stable and the issue has of course disappeared. Sorry for the noise and thanks for your help. > On Jan 5, 2016, at 1:39 AM, Aurelien Jarno <aurel...@aurel32.net> wrote: > > On 2016-01-05 00:55, Mahesh Kronecker wrote: >> Dear all, >> I am on Debian/Jessie, not sid nor Stretch, but I can reproduce the hello.c >> bug as done by John Aston: >> >> $ gcc hello.c -o hello >> /usr/bin/ld: >> /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o: >> réadressage inconnu (0x2a) dans la section « .init » >> /usr/bin/ld: édition de lien finale en échec: Mauvaise valeur >> collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status >> >> Packages: >> -------------------------------------- >> sudo apt-cache show binutils >> Package: binutils >> Version: 2.25-5 >> >> Package: libc6-dev >> Source: glibc >> Version: 2.19-18+deb8u1 >> >> sudo apt-cache show libgcc1 >> Package: libgcc1 >> Source: gcc-4.9 (4.9.2-10) >> Version: 1:4.9.2-10 >> >> sudo apt-cache show libc6 >> Package: libc6 >> Status: install ok installed >> […] >> Source: glibc >> Version: 2.21-1 > > glibc version 2.21-1 has never been available in jessie... > >> […] >> ------------------------------------- >> >> Is there something wrong in my settings or is this related to the bug you >> are describing in the testing versions of Debian? >> I do not know what to do to fix the issue on my system. > > It really looks like your system have a mix of jessie and stretch or > sid.
