| mjg59 | doko: Our elilo problems are binutils-related | 09:12 |
|---|---|---|
| mjg59 | Any ideas what might have broken efi-ia32 building? | 09:12 |
| doko | mjg59: no, is the source package in the archive? | 10:47 |
| mjg59 | Yes | 10:47 |
| mjg59 | I haven't traced whether it's gnu-efi that ends up broken (and hence all efi apps are), or if it's ok and elilo is broken | 10:48 |
| doko | hmm, how could I test if it's broken or not? | 10:50 |
| mjg59 | doko: Good question. | 10:51 |
| mjg59 | Unfortunately the answer is probably "Run the binaries", but... | 10:51 |
| mjg59 | In theory it's possible to run an EFI environment under qemu or something, but I've never done it | 10:52 |
| doko | me neither :-/ | 10:52 |
| doko | is it supposed to work with vmware? | 10:54 |
| mjg59 | I'd assume so | 10:55 |
| mjg59 | But I don't know where to get hold of the test environment | 10:56 |
| mjg59 | doko: Ok, the breakage appears to purely be in elilo | 12:31 |
| mjg59 | I can build gnu-efi with the new binutils, and elilo still works as long as I build it with the old binutils | 12:33 |
| doko | mjg59: ok, so I assume we have to do a binary search with different binutils. | 12:35 |
| mjg59 | doko: The obvious difference (looking at the headers) is that the .dynsym and .reloc sections are in the reverse order | 12:37 |
| mjg59 | The only difference in the disassembly is that some of the addresses are slightly different | 12:39 |
| mjg59 | In the broken one, they're all 4 bytes later | 12:39 |
| mjg59 | So my suspicion is in the section ordering... | 12:39 |
| mjg59 | Or the fact that the .dynsym section is slightly larger in the working one | 12:40 |
| doko | mjg59: I'm looking at it today | 12:41 |
| mjg59 | doko: Ok, thanks | 12:41 |
| mjg59 | doko: Would you like a copy of a working and a broken binary? | 12:41 |
| doko | mjg59: sure, might help. most likely I'll have to ask you anyway ... | 12:46 |
| mjg59 | doko: www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/tmp/efi | 12:47 |
| doko | got it | 12:50 |
| mjg59 | Ok, if I edit the linker script to force the section ordering to be the same, it still fails | 01:06 |
| mjg59 | The only obvious difference now is that the .dynsym section is smaller | 01:06 |
| mjg59 | (In the broken one) | 01:06 |

| doko | mjg59: could you check http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/binutils_2.16.1cvs20060314-0ubuntu1_i386.deb (current upstream) | 04:26 |
| mjg59 | doko: Will do once I get home (30 minutes or so) | 06:04 |
| mjg59 | doko: Still broken | 08:07 |
| doko | mjg59: hmm, ok, going backward then tomorrow | 08:09 |
| mjg59 | doko: Are the earlier cvs packages available anywhere? | 08:37 |
