It is worse for me. Absolutely no applications, be they C++ or C, are linked properly. Consider this small example:
#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> __attribute__((noinline)) int f(const char *a, const char *b) { return strcmp(a, b); } int main() { printf("%x\n", f("foo", "bar")); } If you compile it dynamically, you get a segfault due to strcmp being placed in a non-executable page. If you compile it statically, you get the address of function _libc_start instead of executing strcmp. Same thing happens with strlen et al, which explains that all applications a bit complicated will segfault before even reaching main (due to dynamic loading relying on strlen). This is on Lucid Lynx with binutils 2.20.1-3ubuntu5 on amd64. It was working fine on Karmic. -- lucid gold makes nearly all C++ applications segfault before main() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582754 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
