>Description:
pkgsrc/lang/openjdk11 segfaults on NetBSD-9.0_STABLE-aarch64.
If /libexec/ld.elf_so is replaced with a copy from -current, it works fine.

This might be due to different GCC major version (7.4.0 vs 8.4.0).
ld.elf_so is built with optimization level -O3.
I suspect GCC 7 generates bad code.

>How-To-Repeat:
run "java -version"

>Fix:
Not sure how to request this change for NetBSD-9. It should not be applied to -current.

 On NetBSD 9.2 earmv6hf, ld.elf_so is also broken. But the error is
 different. Instead of the random late-game segfault we get on aarch64,
 instead we get consistently:

 ./work/bootstrap/bin/java -version
 Error: dl failure on line 562
 Error: failed /work/bootstrap/lib/server/libjvm.so, because /work/bootstrap/lib/server/libjvm.so: Shared object has no run-time symbol table

 But there is nothing obviously wrong with the solib.
 Again, dropping in ld.elf_so from -current solves the problem.
 This should be easier to debug. With luck it is the same issue.

State-Changed-Why:
I'll reopen this since more platforms are affected and IIRC joerg
objected off-list to lowering the optimization level without
bisecting which function gets miscompiled.

Is this still an issue?  I wonder if we fixed it with all the tls fixes?

 It is possible that lib/58154 was the culprit. If so it can be closed.
 I will retest in a -9 chroot.
