I refactored the original get_extensions_directory() as below, but I haven't tested it. Can you try it?

+static char* get_extensions_directory(char *dirbuf, size_t sz) +{ + const char *dirs[] = { + getenv("CRASH_EXTENSIONS"), + BITS64() ? "/usr/lib64/crash/extensions" : "/usr/lib/crash/extensions", + "./extensions", + NULL + };

+ + for (const char **p = dirs; *p; ++p) { + if (is_directory(*p)) { + snprintf(dirbuf, sz, "%s", *p); + return dirbuf; + } + }

+ return NULL; +}

And also modify the is_directory(), for example: int -is_directory(char *file) +is_directory(const char *file) { struct stat sbuf; Anyway I'm still not sure if that can meet your needs.
