glibc fails to bootstrap: Segmentation fault & other [SO

batkins · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 20 May 2003 Posts: 127

I'm trying to bootstrap my system, but it fails while compiling glibc. I don't have the exact error, as I had to reboot into Windows to get wireless access, but it was more or less:

* Installing man pages and docs
ls: relocation error: /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.4-20041102-r1/image/lib/something: symbol __tls_get_addr not defined in file ld_linux.so.2 w/ link time reference Version GLIBC_2.3

Sorry the error is a little unorganized, I had to transcribe it from my handwriting. My CFLAGS are "-march=i686 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointers". My CHOST is i686-pc-linux-gnu. I am compiling this on an IBM Thinkpad T42 with a Pentium-M processor.

Any idea what's going on here?

MOD EDIT: Made sticky. Changed thread name.

Please, see bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86465

The following error message is also covered:

Code:

* Installing man pages and docs...
/usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1732: 3274 Segmentation fault
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${D}/$(get_libdir)" ${x} >/dev/null

I also have this problem. The exact error is:

* Installing man pages and docs...
ls: relocation error: /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1/image//lib/libc.so.6: symbol ____tls_get_addr, version GLIBC_2.3 not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Simple, use stage2.

Can anyone tell us what is actually causing this? I have the same thing updating an existing system that had not been sync'd for a while (my gf was using the box in Windows, unfortunately). Previous glibc (2.3.3.20040420-r1) did not have a problem on this system. My other box is running 2.3.4.20041102-r1 without a problem.

Same msg as Silverstar while merging sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1 during stage1 bootstrap.

-march=athlon-mp -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe

There's a bug report of this problem: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86465

My error happens at the same place, but it's not a segfault.

having the same problem too.
same error also.

It's not quite the same problem. The bug report says glibc segfaults.

FWIW, I'm having the same issue, with a machine which hasn't been sync'd in a while:

Same here, but I just sync'd my machine this morning.

Is there an alternative version of glibc to use that won't do this? Is it possible to specify alternative versions with a bootstrap?

batkins · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 20 May 2003 Posts: 127

Is bootstrap-new.sh ready for use? Could that be the answer?

jaccort · n00b Joined: 02 Dec 2003 Posts: 54

Don't know if it's relevant but I've just noticed that my /var was full... which happens to be where my portage tmpdir is.

I've cleared some space and I'm recompiling glibc now, with any luck it'll work.

I am having the exact same problem while i was trying to bootstrap last night.

I'm trying something recommended on IRC.

Same error as SIlverstar here (ls relocation error). Sync'd up last night to bootstrap a new system and had this happen. Seems to be a general glibc problem, not just bootstrap. What happened? It was fine just a couple days ago.

I'm concerned that this may leave my system in an unbootable state. Has anyone else tried rebooting on a system which was previously stable following this error?

Today, I've tried to bootstrap gentoo. I can't remember, but i've got something similar to:

* Installing man pages and docs...

Adding this line to your /etc/portage/package.mask file sidesteps the problem druing bootstrap:
