Building a classic snap on trusty doesn't work

[Kyle Fazzari]

If one tries to build a classic snap on trusty, whenever Snapcraft tries to execute anything (e.g. cmake, or a scriptlet) the executed thing segfaults. For example:

Preparing to pull my-part
Pulling my-part
Preparing to build my-part
Building my-part
cmake /snapcraft/tests/smoke/classic/parts/my-part/src -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=
Failed to run 'cmake /snapcraft/tests/smoke/classic/parts/my-part/src -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=' for 'my-part': Exited with code -11.
Verify that the part is using the correct parameters and try again.

This should either work, or fail in a nicer way.

This is due to /snap/core/current/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu being placed on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH when building a classic snap (LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set when building non-classic).

[Kyle Fazzari (kyrofa)]

Actually that's a lie-- LD_LIBRARY_PATH could be set when building strict snaps, but core paths are not in there.

I'm coming from here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/building-classic-snap-on-trusty-fails/5472

Although the error I'm getting different, might it be related?

[Kyle Fazzari (kyrofa)]

Hey Marc, yeah, that's the same thing.

Hi guys, has there been any progress on this issue?
