Created attachment 2306 [details] Screenshot of matchbox-desktop failure. Image: core-image-sato MACHINE: qemux86-64 If we add "-fno-omit-frame-pointer -fvisibility=default" in the OPTIMIZATION, matchbox-desktop: failed to start with segfault: matchbox-deskto[350]: segfault at 0 ip 0000003409a3aa10 sp 00007fff705985b8 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.4000.0[3409a00000+135000]
The workaround is to filter out the "-fvisibility=default" for glib-2.0: diff --git a/meta/recipes-core/glib-2.0/glib-2.0_2.40.0.bb b/meta/recipes-core/glib-2.0/glib-2.0_2.40.0.bb index 4b1bcf8..ee63b4b 100644 --- a/meta/recipes-core/glib-2.0/glib-2.0_2.40.0.bb +++ b/meta/recipes-core/glib-2.0/glib-2.0_2.40.0.bb @@ -20,3 +20,5 @@ SRC_URI_append_class-native = " file://glib-gettextize-dir.patch" SRC_URI[md5sum] = "05fb7cb17eacbc718e90366a1eae60d9" SRC_URI[sha256sum] = "0d27f195966ecb1995dcce0754129fd66ebe820c7cd29200d264b02af1aa28b5" + +TARGET_CFLAGS := "${@oe_filter_out('-fvisibility=default', '${TARGET_CFLAGS}', d)}"
Please submit a patch!
If you've a distribution that globally sets compiler flags then that distribution should also handle bugs caused by those flags. glib has large numbers of symbols that are marked internal so I wouldn't be too surprised that overriding the visibility rules breaks it.

Yes, we have something like this in our distribution: PROFILING_OPTIMIZATION = "${FULL_OPTIMIZATION} -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fvisibility=default" so you suggest we should handle this bug in our distribution only, right?
Correct. Basically you've either found a bug in matchbox-desktop (unlikely), or that glib doesn't work with default visibility forced and matchbox-desktop was just the first thing to crash.
