[ruby-core:20881] [Bug #633] dl segfaults on x86_64-linux systems

Issue #633 has been updated by Ed Borasky.

File ruby-configure.log added

File ruby-test.log added

I'm trying to reproduce this on my system. This machine is an Athlon64 X2 (dual-core x86_64). OS is openSUSE 11.1, 2.6.27 kernel, and gcc is "gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291]". I downloaded the Ruby source via subversion from trunk. The "autoconf", "configure", "make" and "make install" all ran fine, as did "make test". So I tried the test above. No segfaults, but I did get an interesting error message:

In other words, it looks like I have linked against the wrong "libc" -- a 32-bit one! Could that be what's happening on the 64-bit Red Hat systems too? I think the "libc" should be "/lib64/libc.so.6":

znmeb@DreamScape:~/Packages> locate libc.so
/lib/libc.so.6
/lib64/libc.so.6
/usr/lib64/libc.so
znmeb@DreamScape:~/Packages> file /lib/libc.so.6
/lib/libc.so.6: symbolic link to `libc-2.9.so'
znmeb@DreamScape:~/Packages> file /lib64/libc.so.6
/lib64/libc.so.6: symbolic link to `libc-2.9.so'
znmeb@DreamScape:~/Packages> file /usr/lib64/libc.so
/usr/lib64/libc.so: ASCII C program text
znmeb@DreamScape:~/Packages> file /lib/libc-2.9.so

I'm attaching the output of the "make" step if that's any help. Incidentally, the default installed Ruby on openSUSE 11.1 is 1.8.7:

znmeb@DreamScape:~/Packages> which ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
znmeb@DreamScape:~/Packages> ruby --version
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [x86_64-linux]
znmeb@DreamScape:~/Packages>
