eu-ld: cannot load ld backend library 'libld_elf_i386.so'

[Ralph Corderoy]

Binary package hint: elfutils

Ubuntu 8.04, elfutils 0.131-3.

Any attempt to get eu-ld(1) to do something other than print help, etc. gives

    $ eu-ld j.o
    eu-ld: cannot load ld backend library 'libld_elf_i386.so': libld_elf_i386.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This isn't an error in loading eu-ld itself, but an error from eu-ld's own source. I've tried searching for the missing *.so using Ubuntu's package search web interface and can't find it. Perhaps this is a broken dependency?

That's the last comment from the Debian Bug (from the Maintainer):

It seems the upstream makefiles don't install that library for
some reason.

But you probably shouldn't use eu-ld for anything.

Marking this bug as confirmed.
