Bug#722348: eglibc: ld-linux-x32.so segfaulting in jessie/sid
Source: eglibc
Version: 2.18-4
Followup-For: Bug #722348
Hi *,
these messages are due to the inclusion of x32 in parts of Debian
combined with the refusal of the Debian Linux Kernel team to add
x32 support.
Independent of the question of whether such support should be added
or not, it is inacceptable that a standard Debian system configuration
produces segfault output in dmesg and files such as /core upon package
installation/upgrades.
I think this could be fixed by the kernel returning ENOEXEC instead
of segfaulting, if it encounters an x32 binary but has no x32 support.
For this reason, I’d suggest reassigning this bug to src:linux to the
src:eglibc maintainers.
