Re: Sid and make xconfig problems - collect2: ld terminated with signal 11

[Jérôme Davanne <jerome.davanne@bigfoot.com>]

Hi,

I've been using sid for quite some time, and today I made an update. I
got the same error compiling my own program. I believe there is a broken
package somewhere, probably binutils. But I'm not sure.

The last update I made before this one was on friday.

I'm looking everywhere for people who have the same problem.
Even, the Hello World program doesn't compile... or actually doesn't link.

===================================================
> cat <<EOF >hello.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
        printf("Hello World\n");
         return 0;
}
EOF
> gcc -Wall -c hello.c
> gcc -Wall -o hello hello.o
collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]
======================================================

Is there anybody who updates recently and who isn't able to compile this
program?

Thanks.
