I'm seeing an issue with what looks like a miscompilation of libcap with gcc-12: /bin/ls segfaults when run in a certain directory, triggered by what looks like an sprintf() called inside "cap_to_text()" in from the libcap library: #0 __pthread_kill_implementation (threadid=, signo=signo@entry=6, no_tid=no_tid@entry=0) at pthread_kill.c:44 44 return INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ERROR_P (ret) ?

Maybe someone here can use this to figure out what went wrong. (-O2 -march=znver3 -mtune=znver3 -pipe" are used cflags). Thanks! Manuel
