Description Ross Burton 2017-03-06 15:08:56 UTC

When I build pulseaudio:

WARNING: pulseaudio-10.0-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: ELF binary '/data/poky-master/tmp/work/corei7-64-poky-linux/pulseaudio/10.0-r0/packages-split/pulseaudio-server/usr/bin/pulseaudio' has relocations in .text [textrel]

But if I run scanelf on the binary:

scanelf: scanelf_file_textrels(): ELF pulseaudio has TEXTREL markings but doesnt appear to have any real TEXTREL's !?

Comment 1 Ross Burton 2017-03-06 15:13:47 UTC

Dynamic Section:
...
  TEXTREL              0x0000000000000000

If the value is a size or offset, then we can likely just skip sections which have 0 here.

Maybe.  Need to research *what* that means.

That series merged and I haven't seen this warning since.
