Bug 1923

Is this ARM toolchain related ? Is this really only happening on the
beagleboard ?

It also happens on other platforms, including both Intel and non-Intel platforms.

Thanks for the update. 

We'll have to figure out what has happened with the toolchain.

(and reading, I see that the all platform part was already covered). sorry about that.

again which image is failing?

Can you also provide the test case in a form that we can use.

Does anybody know last when this has worked?

This issue is same as bug 1922. When using the pre-build ltp, the case failed. When build the ltp on the target, the case can pass. 
 
Steps:
#########
1. Download the ltp testsuite from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ltp/files/LTP%20Source/ltp-20110915/
2. Copy the tarball to the target and decompress it.
3. # cd ltp-full-20110915; ./configure; cd testcases/commands/ade/nm;  make; ./nm01
########

The case can pass:

I find the binaries were getting stripped by our poky packaging code. And that was causing the failure: I disabled stripping of elf binaries for ltp recipe. Now the tests are passing in my local env, and also should pass in the image. 

Can you please test it and update the bugzilla?

Thanks,
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
It's casued by the new ltp recipe introduced into poky. I will take the owner of the bug. Thanks a lot for your comments and try.

Jiajun,
  Thanks for jumping in. I think the issue is fixed, just need verification.
Thanks,
Nitin

Sorry, Nitin. Yes, the bug is root caused and we could mark the bug as fixed. I will open another new bug since poky will strip all binaries during do_package, which makes LTP cases fail.

The bug has been fixed by Nitin's patch on http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=nitin/misc&id=ffc4c2baa9ed5116336b1d5c2d6110f7e4163c27.

    ltp: disable elf binary stripping
    
    Otherwise the ltp tests ldd01 & nm01 fail due to missing stripped
    information.
