Bug#808205: libc6: Unrecognized relocation when compiling
Dear all,
I am on Debian/Jessie, not sid nor Stretch, but I can reproduce the hello.c bug as done by John Aston:
$ gcc hello.c -o hello
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o: réadressage inconnu (0x2a) dans la section « .init »
/usr/bin/ld: édition de lien finale en échec: Mauvaise valeur
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Packages:
--------------------------------------
sudo apt-cache show binutils
Package: binutils
Version: 2.25-5
Package: libc6-dev
Source: glibc
Version: 2.19-18+deb8u1
sudo apt-cache show libgcc1
Package: libgcc1
Source: gcc-4.9 (4.9.2-10)
Version: 1:4.9.2-10
sudo apt-cache show libc6
Package: libc6
Status: install ok installed
[…]
Source: glibc
Version: 2.21-1
[…]
-------------------------------------
Is there something wrong in my settings or is this related to the bug you are describing in the testing versions of Debian?
I do not know what to do to fix the issue on my system.

When using 2.19-22 (pinned to that version after installing the package from a CD), it works normally. When upgraded, it fails as per below.
