package libc6-dev 2.34-0ubuntu3: missing '__libc_csu_fini', '__libc_csu_init' symbols

[Ihor Ivanov]

The following error occurs when compilation of host tools for compiling ARM kernel is done:

prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/host/x86_64-linux-glibc2.17-4.8/bin/x86_64-linux-gcc -Wp,-MD,scripts/basic/.fixdep.d -Iscripts/basic -Ikernel/msm-4.14/include/uapi -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -o scripts/basic/fixdep kernel/msm-4.14/scripts/basic/fixdep.c
prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/host/x86_64-linux-glibc2.17-4.8/bin/../sysroot/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x12): error: undefined reference to '__libc_csu_fini'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I checked that neither libc.a nor libc_nonshared.a contains these symbols:

$ objdump -t /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.a | grep csu_init
$ objdump -t /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc_nonshared.a | grep csu_init

Also I checked that the binaries from previous version contain these symbols:

libc2.33$ objdump -t usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.a | grep csu_init
0000000000000000 g F .text 0000000000000094 __libc_csu_init
libc2.33$ objdump -t usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc_nonshared.a | grep csu_init
0000000000000000 g F .text 0000000000000065 __libc_csu_init

Is it intended that these symbols are removed in 2.34 version of libc6-dev package?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Team,

This is affecting the android builds on the latest ubuntu disro 21.10 which is based on glibc 2.34

Any update on this issue? I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and I am facing issues with Android builds because of this.
