Bug#827876: libc6: $dp is not initialized correctly in sysdeps/hppa/start.S (gcrt1.o)



Package: libc6
Version: 2.22-12
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Since the update to glibc 2.22, executables compiled with -p and linked
against gcrt1.o crash on startup.  It was found that _start was not
initializing the $dp register correctly when sysdeps/hppa/start.S was
assembled with SHARED defined.  $dp is initilized correctly when SHARED
is not defined.  This is the normal case.

This is BZ 20277:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20277

A patch to fix this bug is here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00823.html

Would you please add this change to the Debian hppa patch set for glibc.

Regards,
Dave Anglin
