We've got a bug in the dynamic linker which makes it die when it's not
loaded to the address it's linked to. This is bug number one but the
second bug is the fact that it gets loaded to the wrong address. I
suspect this may also happen at times on a 32-bit kernel also but it's
happening much easier on mips64. Easiest way to show this is to run
/lib/ld.so.1 - it will always die on MIPS64. This brings us to bug number
three - gdb 4.16 only prints junk from the resulting corefile; I assume
that the 64-bit kernel doesn't write the registers properly into the core
file.
Kanoj, got an idea why the kernel might load ld.so to a different address
than it is linked for?
Note that ldd is running ld.so directly, therefore on an Origin it will
always say ``not a dynamic executable''. This again will confuse
libtool into producing wrong library and rpm into generating packages
without library dependency information and probably a few more
neat little resulting bugs.
Btw, this same problem should also affect glibc 2.2.
