[Crash-utility] x86_64 crash (cross-platform)

Hi Dave, We've recently seen lcrash fail with a floating point exception very early in initialization. Seems to be a binary compiled under one distribution and then executed on another. And the solution seems to be the -Wl,--hash-style=both option. Have others reported this? There must be a cleaner solution than in my notes below. That is, an easier way to link with this option. Thanks. -Cliff -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To make crash so that it runs under SLES or RedHat: cd /home/estes02/cpw/crash-4.0-6.2 make Compile it on a SLES system: good: cpw@spandau:/tmp/cpw/crash-4.0-6.2> readelf -S crash | grep -A1 hash [ 4] .hash HASH 0000000000400290 00000290 0000000000009490 0000000000000004 A 5 0 8 on a RHEL: bad: cpw@alcatraz crash-4.0-6.2 $ readelf -S crash | grep -A1 hash [ 3] .gnu.hash GNU_HASH 0000000000400240 00000240 000000000000a040 0000000000000000 A 4 0 8 OR vi gdb-6.1/gdb/configure --- if test "$GCC" = yes; then CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wl,--hash-style=both" else CFLAGS="-g -Wl,--hash-style=both" fi else if test "$GCC" = yes; then CFLAGS="-O2 -Wl,--hash-style=both" else CFLAGS="-Wl,--hash-style=both" --- make readelf -S crash | grep -A1 hash (should show GNU form) cpw@alcatraz crash-4.0-6.2 $ readelf -S crash | grep -A1 hash [ 3] .hash HASH 0000000000400240 00000240 0000000000009490 0000000000000004 A 5 0 8 [ 4] .gnu.hash GNU_HASH 00000000004096d0 000096d0 000000000000a040 0000000000000000 A 5 0 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
