Summary:                    smbd segfaults on arm architecture
Description: 
Using a buildroot compiled uclibc toolchain and version 0.9.29 of uclibc a
samba smbd (actually all samba binaries) segfaults immediately after
starting.
The toolchain has been compiled using linuxthreads.old/stable. Other
programs compiled with the toolchain work, e.g. busybox.

a gdb session shows the following output:

Further tests showed that this bug is due to a patch to ldso.c i found in
the mailing list. The patch was supposed to fix the segfault as described
in http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=1583 and can be fixed by applying
the following fix taken from
http://www.mail-archive.com/toolchain-commits@blackfin.uclinux.org/msg00485.html
which should be in already in the current snapshot of uclibc.

Issue can be closed. ( I suppose this is also the solution for bug 1583)
