[Bug 1572569] Re: Relocation error in libc.so.6

[Vadim Peretokin]

Is that a serious suggestion though? Because in order to get your
software deployed on older versions of Ubuntu, you must compile on the
older version of the OS, not on a newer one. This is catch-22 advice
right here.

Title:
  Relocation error in libc.so.6

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The complete error message is as follows:
  ./testapp: relocation error: ./testapp: symbol __get_cpu_features, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

  The "testapp" has been compiled in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server with Free
  Pascal to 64bit executable. The executable doesn't have anything Free
  Pascal specific and it works fine in other Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 15.10
  computers. I verified this by running the executable in a fresh-
  installed 15.10 virtual computer, which did not have anything Free
  Pascal related installed.

  Now I copied the executable into 16.04 LTS (release candidate)
  computer and tried to run it, but it gives the above mentioned error
  message.
