           Summary: "which" recompilation on x86_64 links against i386
                    library
           Product: SUSE Linux 10.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: steiner-reg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When recompiling the util-linux.src.rpm on SuSE 10.1 and/or SLES 10, the
"which" binary is linked against a i386 library, causing a segfault when
executing "/usr/bin/which ls" etc.

That's because the which-2.13/Makefile contains a line

LIBS = /usr/lib/libiberty.a 

When compiling on a x86_64 system with "binutils" and "binutils-32bit"
installed, this leads to:

gcc  -O2 -g -fmessage-length=0 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2  -o which  getopt.o
getopt1.o bash.o which.o ./tilde/libtilde.a /usr/lib/libiberty.a 
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.0/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:
warning: i386 architecture of input file `/usr/lib/libiberty.a(xmalloc.o)' is
incompatible with i386:x86-64 output
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.0/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:
warning: i386 architecture of input file `/usr/lib/libiberty.a(xexit.o)' is
incompatible with i386:x86-64 output

The resulting which segfaults:
backus BUILD/which-2.13# ./which /ls
Segmentation fault

Changing the make call in the  spec file to "make
LIBS=/usr/%{_lib}/libiberty.a" solves the problem.

I'm not sure if this is in SuSE 10.1 only or also in later versions since we
use only 10.1 and SLES 10.
