Package: libc6 Version: 2.22-12 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Since the update to glibc 2.22, executables compiled with -p and linked against gcrt1.o crash on startup. It was found that _start was not initializing the $dp register correctly when sysdeps/hppa/start.S was assembled with SHARED defined. $dp is initilized correctly when SHARED is not defined. This is the normal case. This is BZ 20277: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20277 A patch to fix this bug is here: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00823.html Would you please add this change to the Debian hppa patch set for glibc.
