program linked to protobuf crashes before main

[David Lawrence]

This simple test crashes on a system that I installed Ubuntu Server 20.04 daily build on yesterday:
echo "syntax = \"proto2\";" >| test.pbc
echo "message TestMsg" >> test.pbc
echo "{" >> test.pbc
echo " required double f1 = 1;" >> test.pbc
echo "}" >> test.pbc

echo "int main() {return 0;}" >| test.cc

protoc --cpp_out=. ./test.pbc
g++ -c -o test.pbc.pb.o test.pbc.pb.cc
g++ -c -o test.o test.cc
g++ -o test test.o test.pbc.pb.o -lprotobuf
./test
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
  what(): Unknown error -1
Aborted (core dumped)

This is still crashing on an up to date 20.04 build. This is a show stopper for me using 20.04.

[David Lawrence (david-gary-lawrence)]

I downloaded the latest protocol buffer release (protobuf-cpp-3.12.3.tar.gz) and the simple test app does not crash with that. So this problem seems to be unique to 20.04.
