            Bug ID: 27080
           Summary: Upstream glibc configure braeks with latest nm package
                    in Fedora
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: joao.moreira at intel dot com
                CC: carlos at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Upstream glibc configure breaks when invoked with GNU nm version
2.35.50.0.1.20201215, which is the latest Fedora 33 version for nm. Invoking nm
over a manually compiled test will result in the following output, which seems
to be the cause of the error in configure:

bfd plugin: No register_all_symbols_read hook

Error message during configure is:

checking for __builtin_trap with no external dependencies... configure: error:
confusing output from nm -u

--- Comment #1 from Joao Moreira <joao.moreira at intel dot com> ---
FTR, applying the below diff to configure works as a temporary workaround for
the bug (but is hardly a solution).

-libc_undefs=`$NM -u conftest.o |
+libc_undefs=`$NM -u conftest.o | grep -v bfd |
