Aha, this might very well be the root cause for https://bugs.freebsd.org/227552, could you please have a look at that? > I don't see this problem on 64-bit systems, only on i386 ones. > > When I look at the rtld code, it appears to memset the .tbss to > zero (/usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c:allocate_tls) in the > non-arch-specific code so the arch shouldn't matter, but something > is not working right. > > So I'm looking for a helpful clue, such as how to debug rtld to see > why this isn't being zeroed. As discussed in PR227552, it seems that the update to clang 6.0 in stable/11 is the point at which some programs start crashing, so either it's some bug in clang's TLS handling, or some subtle change in the resulting executables is now tripping up rtld. (I've added John and Kostik on CC, as they know much more about rtld than me.) -Dimitry --Apple-Mail=_F276EF6F-05F2-48EC-9C86-18B365972780 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.2 iF0EARECAB0WIQR6tGLSzjX8bUI5T82wXqMKLiCWowUCWvDnqwAKCRCwXqMKLiCW oyCsAKC4FsAfxGpyTOOa2NXbHFWwqdEDMwCg+b9lOADXEBwfBTnmYb0zVwC126g= =c3y4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_F276EF6F-05F2-48EC-9C86-18B365972780--
