[Bug 1588123] Re: binutils - Bugzilla ID 20159

[Martin Pitt]

Hello Paul, or anyone else affected,

Accepted binutils into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  binutils - Bugzilla ID 20159

Status in binutils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in binutils source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Moved to Ubuntu 16.04 from Ubuntu 14.04 and was doing some Test Driven
  Development where we began to override the "time" system call from
  glibc. Failed on Ubuntu 16.04 and I filed a report with the binutils
  Bugzilla.

  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20159

  (Turns out it was not dynamic linking that was the problem but GNU ld
  itself at link-time.)

  They have since developed a patch and I want to get this into the
  binutils 1.26 line that is maintained for 16.04 so we can continue to
  properly develop software on this distribution.

  Thanks!

  - Paul Braman
