Bug#341514: libc6-sparc64: All 64-bit binaries fail to execute.
Package: libc6-sparc64
Version: 2.3.5-8
Severity: normal
There are some critical things missing in the sparc64 TLS support code
in the current debian glibc tree, for example none of the TLS
relcation support is in sysdeps/sparc/sparc64/dl-machine.h, and
therefore so no binary linked against 64-bit libc can execute.
Not even "/lib64/libc.so.6 --version" will work, it will fail
because the dynamic linker doesn't understand the TLS relocations
present in the /libc64/libc.so.64 binary.
If this sparc TLS support has been backported, this back has missed
significant chunks of the necessary changes and now all 64-bit
binaries fail to execute on the system.
I would suggest trying to execute a "Hello World" program, post-build,
to avoid major errors like this. There is no way that any of the
testsuite executed properly. Perhaps it was "built" successfully, but
none of the programs linking against libc could have executed properly
due to this bug.
