Bug#553047: libc6: (cross) libc-2.10.1.so/powerpc: ELF file data encoding not little-endian

Hello Aurelien,

  Thanks for the quick reply.

This bus is not only PowerPC but also: *hppa, sparc, mips*
Alpha and armel are known to be fine.
This bug only happens on gcc-4.4, not seen on gcc-4.3

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:}/usr/hppa-linux-gnu/lib
ARCH=hppa MAKEFLAGS="CC=something" dh_shlibdeps -plibgcc4-hppa-cross
/usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries:
/usr/hppa-linux-gnu/lib/libdl.so.2: ELF file data encoding not
little-endian

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:}/usr/sparc-linux-gnu/lib
ARCH=sparc MAKEFLAGS="CC=something" dh_shlibdeps -plibgcc1-sparc-cross
/usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries:
/usr/sparc-linux-gnu/lib/libdl.so.2: ELF file data encoding not
little-endian

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:}/usr/mips-linux-gnu/lib
ARCH=mips MAKEFLAGS="CC=something" dh_shlibdeps -plibgcc1-mips-cross
/usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries:
/usr/mips-linux-gnu/lib/libdl.so.2: ELF file data encoding not
little-endian

> The question is why dh_shlibdeps returns such an error.

I'll try to debug it. Maybe you have a suggestion to investigate this farther.

Maybe this bug needs to be reassigned to debhelper?
