Bug#749060: klibc: ppc64el needs static binaries as well

The kindness and time of the volunteer effort in debugging this to find a solution is certainly appreciated, but it would be nice to fix the currently-broken initrd on ppc64el without non-Debian patches. I still plan to try to debug it myself for a while, but if it's ok to just go with the patch for now, it would greatly help us. I thought it would come in conveniently in case you'll make a new upstream release for klibc 2.0.4.

Bug#749060: klibc: ppc64el needs static binaries as well
Package: src:klibc Version: 2.0.3-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: debian-powe...@lists.debian.org Usertags: ppc64el Hi, The ppc64el port needs klibc's static binaries, like ppc64. This patch enables the ARCH=ppc64 make env var in debian/rules, in order for 'debian/patches/ppc64-static.patch' to take effect on ppp64el too. I initially thought that wouldn't be needed due to the ARCH=ppc64 definition on some Kbuild files, but it seems that is not used in some make targets for the binaries (probably why, even though, there was an ARCH=ppc64 definition already in place..). The result was shared binaries being picked, and some of them segfault. With this patch I can get a functional initramfs and non-segfaulting binaries in '/usr/lib/klibc/bin/*' (exception: 'kinit.shared', the only'.shared' file there). Unfortunately this fix didn't make the first ppc64el bug/patch for klibc (#744884); I only happened to notice this more recently. Apologies for the additional effort.

Bug#749060: klibc: ppc64el needs static binaries as well
Hi maks, Adding Anton in CC (who submitted klibc ppc64le support upstream [1]), in case he can help. The ppc64el port needs klibc's static binaries, like ppc64. This segfaulting is a bug in klibc that needs investigation. This patch enables the ARCH=ppc64 make env var in debian/rules, in order for 'debian/patches/ppc64-static.patch' to take effect on ppp64el too. I have no problem to merge this for Debian as workaround for now, but this is not the solution. [...] I agree. Thanks for accepting to carry the workaround for ppc64el too. [...] Effort in making shared binary working too is appreciated. It is probably a wrong syscall API. Unfortunately I don't find myself in klibc expertise area. I can try, but maybe it's not the effective way forward (not sure I'd be able to devote the effort/time that I personally would like to). Hopefully others can contribute in that more significantly. :) Thank you.
