When I try to compile mozilla (CVS version) with the '--enable-elf-dynstr-gc' option, the compile fails with a segfault: ../../dist/bin/elf-dynstr-gc ../../dist/lib/components/libsample.so make[2]: *** [install] Segmentation fault (core dumped) compiling the same codebase on an ext2 filesystem does not produce this segfault. When I compare the produced library (libsample.so), there is a consistent difference between the one compile on the reiserfs and the ext2 filesystem. Running objdump on the reiserfs-compiled library also produces errors (some assertion failures, a lot of 'invalid string offset' errors, and finally a 'Memory exhausted' error), while objdump happily disassebles the ext-produced binary. These problems occur on: 2.4.1 2.4.2-pre4 2.4.2-pre4 with Chris Mason's 'reiserfs fix for null bytes in small files' So, there's something quite wrong here. If anyone wants me to try something, do tell...
