Run patchelf on the same binary 64 times causes cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

[sjackman]

for i in {0..100}; do
  echo $i
  patchelf --set-interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --set-rpath /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/lib git
  ./git --version || break
done

…
62
git version 2.8.0
63
git version 2.8.0
64
bash: ./git: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

[sjackman]

Alternating between setting the interpreter and setting the rpath causes the failure. Setting the interpreter 100 times and then setting the rpath 100 times is just fine.

[sjackman]

A simple solution for my use case would be for patchelf to check if the current values match the requested values, and if so do nothing.

This issue arose because an installation of git includes 114 hard links to the git executable, and I'm running patchelf on each one.

Dear Contributor,

   I am running into the same issue, after 65 patching add-needed libraries any new additional add-needed causes corruption of executable.  @sjackman  did you find any solution?

Regards,
Pratik Parikh

[sjackman]

Yes, don't run patchelf 65 times on the same executable. 😛

[pratikpparikh]

@sjackman well i need to when i make postgres portable build :(

[sjackman]

Can you combine the multiple invocations of patchelf into a single invocation?

[pratikpparikh]

@sjackman not sure what you mean do you have an example to share?

[sjackman]

Can you give an example of what you're trying to accomplish, and why you're running patchelf 65 times on the same executable?

[pratikpparikh]

Below is the example of what i am doing, if there is a way to address this with single line it will help me. If don't do add-needed then dynamic library will have missing dependencies "not found"
