[Bug 1266492] Re: ld:i386 crashes with -static -fPIE -pie

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package eglibc - 2.19-0ubuntu2

---------------
eglibc (2.19-0ubuntu2) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Merge with unreleased 2.19 from Debian experimental, fixing some bugs:
    - debian/patches/any/local-no-malloc-backtrace.diff: Lower the default
      for MALLOC_CHECK_ to 1, and add it to the list of insecure variables
      that can't be set for suid binaries. This allows us to not backtrace
      malloc failures by default (Closes: #739913, LP: #1266492) and skips
      backtrace for suid binaries where an attacker calling into a corrupt
      malloc internal data structure with malloc could lead to Bad Things.
    - Make ldconfig stop operating on the linker entirely, so our packaged
      symlinks take precedence and hack the postinst to skip ldconfig when
      we detect a broken setup that the old ldconfig mangles (LP: #915995)

Bug description:
  Making a simple file conftest.c with the following contents:

  int main() { return 0; }

  And then compiling it on i386 with gcc -fPIE -pie -static conftest.c
  returns:

  *** Error in `/usr/bin/ld': corrupted double-linked list: 0x08dddb38
  ***

  This breaks compilation xorg-server on i386. I believe that -static
  -fPIE -pie is probably invalid, and it fails on amd64 too.

  $ gcc -fPIE -pie -static conftest.c 
  /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/crtbeginT.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `__TMC_END__' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/crtbeginT.o: error adding symbols: Bad value
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

  But autoconf hangs on the corrupted double-linked list, which times
  out the xorg-server build.
