Bug#808181: libc6: Upgrade can make the linker unusable
Control: severity -1 important
Control: tags -1 stretch
Hi,
Just stumbled upon this today in Testing (Stretch) - after today's libc6 upgrade.
This issue breaks compilation of ANY autotools-based project as ld fails early in the configure phase:
configure:3441: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:3463: gcc -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wl,-z,relro conftest.c >&5
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o: unrecognized relocation (0x2a) in section `.init'
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The system has been updated with the usual dist-upgrade, so I don't understand the mentioning
of some partial upgrades above (and completely don't understand the part about "ignore the problem").
