Description Kevin Kofler 2013-11-11 03:43:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
From the build.log:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/7914/6157914/build.log
of kdebase3 in Rawhide:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=477304

/usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(stack_chk_fail_local.oS): In function `__stack_chk_fail_local':
(.text+0x10): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [konq_sound.la] Error 1

Yet the __stack_chk_fail symbol should be in the libraries g++ links by default. An earlier kdebase3 build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=462944
against older Rawhide packages succeeded, and all I changed was a .desktop file.

One of the packages that changed in the buildroot was binutils, so I guess that (in particular, GNU ld) is where the fault lies.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
binutils-2.24-4.fc21
(The earlier successful build had binutils-2.23.88.0.1-14.fc21.)

How reproducible:
Failed 2 times out of 2. (I didn't attempt to resubmit the job again after both the original and the resubmitted job failed the same way.)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try building kdebase3 in Rawhide.

Actual results:
The build fails with "undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'".

Expected results:
The build succeeds.

Additional info:
Strangely, kdebase3 appears to be the only package breaking that way in Rawhide, yet I haven't changed anything that could possibly have caused this in kdebase3 itself, so it must be one of the packages in the buildroot triggering the FTBFS.
Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2013-11-11 03:46:59 UTC 
To be clear, when I say "failed 2 times out of 2", I mean both builds failed, i.e. reproducing the bug succeeded. I assume it is always reproducible.
Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2013-11-27 23:38:27 UTC 
kdelibs3 fails with the same error:

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2013-12-01 14:08:02 UTC 
Configuring with --disable-new-ldflags instead of --enable-new-ldflags works around this, so it looks like it is a bug in ld related to -Wl,--as-needed or one of the other -Wl flags.

Also affects kdegames3 in bug 1106999.
