I have the same problem. What should I do. I am running as a user on a cluster.

[Mic92]

@zzzqiii can you add set -x to the failing script at the top after the shebang and re-run the test?
Also readelf -n ./tests/scratch/build-id//libbuildid.so is required to understand the error.

I am sorry I don't understand how to set -x to the failling script at the top.
I re-download the patchelf-0.13 and try again, but meet the same problem as before. @Mic92

[VivianoRiccardo]

same problem

[Mic92]

Also on redhat?

[klemensn]

This is most likely caused by too old readelf(1) versions not recognising the build id section.

OpenBSD for example still ships an old

$ readelf --version

Building patchelf 0.14.3 with

$ cc --version
OpenBSD clang version 11.1.0
Target: amd64-unknown-openbsd7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin
$ ld --version
LLD 11.1.0 (compatible with GNU linkers)

correctly adds a build id as per

cc -fpic -O2 -pipe -Wl,--disable-new-dtags -shared -L.  -Wl,--build-id  -o libbuildid.so simple.o  

but readelf does not recognise it:

$  readelf -n libbuildid.so

  Owner         Data size       Description

  GNU           0x00000008      Unknown note type: (0x00000003)

That is a .note.gnu.build-id section of type SHT_NOTE using a SHF_ALLOC attribute,
but build-id.sh greps for "Build ID" in above output, hence the failed test.

[Mic92]

I guess we can also grep for Unknown note type: (0x00000003)

[Mic92]

Can you check?

+readelf -n "${SCRATCH}/libbuildid.so" | grep -q -E 'Build ID|Unknown note type: \(0x00000003\)'

[klemensn]

This makes build-id.sh pass on OpenBSD with GNU readelf 2.17.

Not exactly pretty but it works.
You might as well use grep -q -F -e 'Build ID' -e 'Unknown note type: (0x00000003)' for clarity.

Your call.

Edit: I can only guess that this fixes it for RHEL as per the original issue.

[Mic92]

I assume this one was also fixed.
