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
