1148523 - elfhack assertion failure causes build abort. elf.cpp:261: Elf::Elf(std::ifstream&): Assertion `segment->getFileSize() == phdr.p_filesz' failed.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1233963

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[felix-mozilla]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20150306152707

Steps to reproduce:

This is in firefox 36.0.4 using gcc 4.9.2 and gold 2.25.51 as linker. This is a prerelease version of gold, but it appears to work as advertised.



Actual results:

During the firefox build, I get these error messages:

/tmp/mozbuild/build/unix/elfhack/elfhack -b -f test-array.so
elfhack: /tmp/mozilla-release/build/unix/elfhack/elf.cpp:261: Elf::Elf(std::ifstream&): Assertion `segment->getFileSize() == phdr.p_filesz' failed.

Does it happen with 37.0 or Nightly?

Comment 2

[felix-mozilla]

Yes.

It goes away when I switch my linker back from gold to ld.

Can you edit build/unix/elfhack/Makefile.in, remove lines from "@echo ===" to "[ $$($(TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX)objdump ...", then ./mach build build/unix/elfhack, and attach test-array.so and test-ctors.so to this bug?

Just hit the same problem on debian testing while building tip of aurora (fx45):

compiler: gcc version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10)
linker: GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.25.90.20160101
