Package: libc6 Version: 2.11.1-2 Severity: important I'm using a Debian testing/unstable mix. Most packages are from testing (squeeze). Today, I upgraded to libc from 2.10.2-9 to the version from unstable (2.11.1-2). After the upgrade, autoconf-generated configure scripts stopped working. They hang on this step:
[...] checking whether a program can dlopen itself... yes checking whether a statically linked program can dlopen itself... Looking at 'top', the 'conftest' process is using 100% CPU. Running the test tool manually under strace shows only this output: execve("./conftest", ["./conftest"], [/* 39 vars */]) = 0 uname({sys="Linux", node="tahu", ...}) = 0 brk(0) = 0x170d000 brk(0x170e150) = 0x170e150 arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, 0x170d850) = 0 brk(0x172f150) = 0x172f150 brk(0x1730000) = 0x1730000 Then it starts using 100% CPU and doesn't print anything else. Rebooting the system didn't help. Downgrading back to 2.10.2-9 made it work immediately, after running configure again (the saved conftest still hangs, since it's statically linked to libc). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_AR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_AR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.11.1-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries ii libgcc1 1:4.5-20100404-1 GCC support library libc6 recommends no packages.
