[Bug 1790966] Re: Electron apps segfault on glibc 2.28 (cosmic)

[Maarten Fonville]

Based on the patch of Arch Linux, to at least temporarily work around
the Electron ldd bug, because the large impact it has.

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/glibc&id=f2aaaac68876f6959c62ea09dcdda5d441bf4ff7

Title:
  Electron apps segfault on glibc 2.28 (cosmic)

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Electron apps (like Atom) give a segfault when trying to start them on Ubuntu Cosmic.
  Apparently this is related to a certain commit that is part of glibc 2.28.

  Could the workaround as e.g. Arch has implemented also be applied to
  Ubuntu, otherwise many pre-compiled applications will not work when
  Cosmic will be released.
