2.35-r0: Missing symbols __*_chk

[syphernl]

When updating a Docker container to use glibc 2.35-r0 (previously used 2.34-r0) I am seeing the following errors during the container build:

#9 12.18 Error relocating /aws/dist/aws: __strcat_chk: symbol not found
#9 12.19 Error relocating /aws/dist/aws: __snprintf_chk: symbol not found
#9 12.19 Error relocating /aws/dist/aws: __vfprintf_chk: symbol not found
#9 12.19 Error relocating /aws/dist/aws: __realpath_chk: symbol not found
#9 12.19 Error relocating /aws/dist/aws: __memcpy_chk: symbol not found
#9 12.19 Error relocating /aws/dist/aws: __vsnprintf_chk: symbol not found
#9 12.19 Error relocating /aws/dist/aws: __strcpy_chk: symbol not found
#9 12.19 Error relocating /aws/dist/aws: __fprintf_chk: symbol not found

These errors weren't there with 2.34-r0 so it is likely something that has changed in 2.35-r0?

Can confirm this, we had to roll back to 2.34-r0 as well as otherwise our pipeline breaks

[hatchcanon]

Our developers have just noticed this as well. Thanks @TechRabb1t rolling back worked.

[j0rzsh]

Happened the same to me and roll back to 2.34-r0 as previous comments mentioned. Thanks!

[prantlf]

The same as #175 and #181.

You're referencing symbols which shouldn't be available in the C library at runtime. From the look of it they're in the glibc-dev package – have you tried installing that as well?

[chadlwilson]

I believe these symbols are all normally there and part of glibc, e.g

• https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_5.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/libc.html#TBL-LIBC-WIDE-INTS
• https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_5.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/baselib---strcat-chk-1.html
• https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_5.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/baselib---vsnprintf-chk-1.html

I agree with @prantlf that this seems to be essentially the same as the other issues. This seems to happen when

• things are still pointing to musl rather than the glibc package installed
• alongside installation of something like libc6-compat that "pretends" to be glibc and creates the /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 symlink back to musl libc: https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/contents?branch=edge&name=libc6-compat&arch=x86_64&repo=main. You get these errors with libc6-compat (and similar for Adelie's gcompat) because those compatibility libraries are incomplete and dont have implementations for all of these glibc-specific things. Which is kind of the reason some folks still use this alpine-glibc package :-)

Can replicate with the below where both glibc and glibc-bin are installed. Works fine on 2.34-r0.

This seems to be happening with 2.35-r1 more commonly due to the combination of

1. glibc-bin having added libc6-compat added as a dependency
   

   alpine-pkg-glibc/APKBUILD

   Lines 33 to 34 in 0d226ba

   	bin() {
   	depends="$pkgname bash libc6-compat libgcc"

2. And the lib64 symlink being gone

ddfe092#diff-9d02a9f5b32ef57f03edeea2673bf874facd3f51789e70184f4488e4fe89541cL17-R18

These issues seem to have been partially addressed in #180 which got stuck (and still not sure why it makes sense to install libc6-compat alongside glibc, since generally the intention of installing "real" glibc is to NOT rely on musl<->glibc compatibility layers)

Hope this helps clarify.

still does not work
