Comment 33 for bug 1248642

I have tested the new binutils package on the test program at the top of this ticket. I no longer see the "Inconsistency detected..." message, but I do receive a segfault.

Here is what I did to upgrade:

#> cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trusty-proposed.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-proposed restricted main multiverse universe
#> apt-get update
#> apt-get install binutils=2.24-5ubuntu13
#> apt-cache policy binutils
binutils:
  Installed: 2.24-5ubuntu13
  Candidate: 2.24-5ubuntu13
  Version table:
 *** 2.24-5ubuntu13 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Here is what I did to compile the test program:

$> g++ test.cpp -lGL
$> ./a.out
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Forcing linking against NVIDIA's libGL.so seems to get rid of the segfault:

$> g++ test.cpp -L /usr/lib/nvidia-331 -lGL
$> ./a.out

Here is a backtrace from gdb.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I am using nvidia-331=331.113-0ubuntu0.0.4, but nvidia-331-updates=331.113-0ubuntu0.0.4 seems to have the same behavior too. If I can provide more information let me know. I'll update the tag too (if I can find where to do it).
