"stack smashing detected" when make check of glibc

business_kid · 09-21-2023, 08:40 AM

I still haven't got it out of you: Are you using a Red Hat based system? What else still has gcc-5.x?
The reason they are bad news is that Red Hat back ports patches onto older versions on to old stable and very well tested versions to avoid updating software.

LFS pukes on Red Hat based systems.

I have Slackware 14.0 64 bit, and haven't got to updgrade since which really slacks

Expected failures are due to your system, not the software under test, and unexpected passes are just freaks. But if you get a lot of real failures on something as vital as glibc, that indicates a serious problem. The first thing to do is to go to the test website (link given in the gcc build chapter) and see if the official build gave those failures too.

OK, I'll check it out to see if something can be found.

Hmmm, 2013. That might make an interesting vintage for good red wine or spirits, but hardly for software. If you're on slackware 14.0, you can make a liveslak usb key and build your system on that. Way to go.

If you try to build a modern LFS system on it, I'd expect trouble. And there's not much anyone can do. That has you on glibc-2.15 & kernel 3.2.29 which is probably LTS but that would have expired 4 years ago!

If you look at the requirements in the Book, you will see that there are minimal version requirements for all the host tools and also maximal requirements for the most important ones like gcc and binutils. As far as I can see you need:

Kernel-4.14 and no earlier
gcc 5.1 -> 13.2
binutils 2.13.1 -> 2.41
bash 3.2 minimum

Interestingly there is no specific requirement for glibc.

Well, the kernel clearly fails. Binutils and bash pass. Personally I don't think the 4.x kernels would do, as from playing with various github compiles I can tell you there heavy rework on the kernel headers between the 4.x kernels and the 5.x ones.

To finish this post, the "stack smashing detected" error disappeared after another try of rebuilding the whole process.

I built per lfs book 11.3 whose kernel minimum requirement is 3.2, which incidentally is what my host has.

Glad to be informed, I didn't know much about that and used slackware 14 as host since it just meet the minimum requirements.

Yes, Slackware is known as an excellent LFS host. So is LFS itself actually. I recommend that you build your next LFS out of this one.

A new major release of the kernel always indicates that a lot has changed.
