[solved] Interpreting gdb errors for bin32 application

Hi all,

I have a 32-bit app which I've happily run till about 2 weeks back on 64-bit Arch, called OpenSong. Its open source but uses RealBasic to compile cross-architecture, and realbasic doesn't support 64-bit on Linux.

Anyway, I started getting segfaults after moving to the new [multilib] architecture. A quick gdb shows that the problem comes from /usr/lib32/libz.so.1

Starting program: /opt/OpenSong/opensong 
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

When I first made this package, namcap indicated I had dependencies on lib32-gtk, and it worked till now. I'm quite stumped as to how to proceed, I tried symlinking /usr/lib32 to /opt/lib32/usr/lib (obviously doesn't work). I'd like to try preloading, but I don't think it'll help since it DOES reach /usr/lib32/libz after all.

Ideas please?

Oh, and the program itself contains a single executable and 7 dynamic libraries, all of them in /opt/OpenSong (taken directly from the .deb file they provide).

Re: [solved] Interpreting gdb errors for bin32 application

Update - downgrading lib32-zlib means it works! I think something is wrong with lib32-zlib. I'll try rebuilding it to see if it solves the problem.

Re: [solved] Interpreting gdb errors for bin32 application

Hmm, some more experimentation shows that excluding -march=x86_64 from makepkg.conf prevents the segfault. I wonder whether any other apps are affected. Will bring this up on the ML.

EDIT: Ah, a bit more experimentation shows that the problem was -O2 and -O3, not -march=x86_64. On to the bugtracker, the ML isn't required now.
