[#717032] FYI: changed behaviour of _end symbol

[Petr Salinger <Petr.Salinger@seznam.cz>]

Hi,

the change in binutils might affect also hurd, as

  eglibc-2.17/hurd/Versions:

  GLIBC_2.0 {
    # necessary for the Hurd brk implementation
    _end;
  }

Please recheck.

The value itself does not matter here, but ABS->33 change.

Try to build and run via ktrace under stable and under sid

int main()
{
   sbrk(16*1024);
};

You will see the key difference.
