Hi folks.
At least Manuel and I are experiencing segfaults when using jhalfs. It occurs
during chapter06/stripping-again. I've narrowed the problem down
to /lib/lib{history,readline}.so.5.2. Can anyone else confirm that
performing the following command fails (either segfaults, or causes the shell
to hang):
/tools/bin/find /{,usr/}{bin,lib,sbin} -type f \
-exec /tools/bin/strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
Could you also confirm that the following command succeeds:
/tools/bin/find /{,usr/}{bin,lib,sbin} -type f \
-name -not libhistory.so.5.2 -name -not libreadline.so.5.2 \
-exec /tools/bin/strip --strip-debug '{}' ';'
If anyone can confirm the above, could you also suggest an explanation as to
why the above two libraries are problematic? I initially thought it was a
problem specific to jhalfs, because of the way it executes scripts
under /bin/bash (therefore /lib/lib* would be in use and stripping may cause
problems). I think Manuel's done tests to force the stripping to be executed
under /tools/bin/bash and had the same result though, which rules that
explanation out.
Thanks,
Matt.
