Summary

0000583: crash in LLDS .par grades

Description

Here are some results of trying to bootcheck the asm_fast.par.gc grade on various Linux distributions. All tests were performed in a container on the same Linux host kernel, on a x86-64 machine.

I'm not sure what conclusions we can draw. The problem appears to be something particular to a distribution, rather than an issue with certain gcc or binutils versions. (But keeping in mind that distributions will have applied their own patches to those software packages.)
