Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.136
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
libthread appears to load libgcc_s via dlopen, so copy_exec() won't copy
it to the initramfs image. This causes pthread_cancel to fail with
LIBGCC_S_SO must be installed for pthread_cancel to work
https://sources.debian.org/src/glibc/2.29-9/fbtl/sysdeps/pthread/unwind-forcedunwind.c/#L64
Some packages (cryptsetup-initramfs, open-iscsi, btrfs-progs, and
probably others) have added brittle workarounds to their initramfs hooks
to copy libgcc_s. As discussed here at HSBXL, please consider making
libthread pull libgcc_s. (Or alternatively, providing a helper function
so these packages don't need to reinvent the wheel.)
Thanks,
cheers,
