Bug#808205: libc6: Unrecognized relocation when compiling

[Mahesh Kronecker]

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.

glibc version 2.21-1 has never been available in jessie...

It really looks like your system have a mix of jessie and stretch or
sid. Can you please try to run the following commands and send me the
output:

  dpkg -l libc6:amd64

  md5sum /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o

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

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.

Bug#808205: libc6: Unrecognized relocation when compiling

[John Aston]

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 
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.
