1582574 - minidump_stackwalk doesn't work on libcurl4-based systems

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Toolchains, defect)

Description

[Andrew Erickson [:aerickson]]

The current version of minidump_stackwalk is compiled statically against libcurl3. Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian 10 are libcurl4-based and are the binary doesn't work on these systems (libcurl3 and libcurl4 aren't compatible).

We currently use the tooltool'd version of minidump_stackwalk, but we also build a binary (but don't use it).

Error when attempting to run on a libcurl4-based system:

minidump_stackwalk: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by minidump_stackwalk)

I've compiled a copy on Ubuntu 18.04 and have confirmed it works.

This blocks work to get a modern python3 on our android-hw test platform (Bug 1503785).

I've confirmed that the artifact from https://taskcluster-ui.herokuapp.com/tasks/index/gecko.cache.level-3.toolchains.v3.linux64-minidump-stackwalk/latest is working on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. Thanks! :)
