Some other common failure modes: - rust binaries (not rust-*-devel): it seems to be a general issue with the cargo build process. Manually inserting "-Clink-args=-Wl,-dT,…/.package_note-….ld" into a rustc command seems to work. So maybe it's just a matter of find the right flags for cargo. - go binaries: same. E.g. for 3mux I see: + go build -buildmode pie -compiler gc '-tags=rpm_crashtraceback ' -ldflags ' -X github.com/aaronjanse/3mux/version=1.0.1 -B 0x383b831c21c2e07438685900d5a662a268d4e0ec -compressdwarf=false -extldflags '\''-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 -Wl,--build-id=sha1 -Wl,-dT,/builddir/build/BUILD/3mux-1.0.1/.package_note-3mux-1.0.1-4.fc36.x86_64.ld '\''' -a -v -x -o /builddir/build/BUILD/3mux-1.0.1/_build/bin/3mux github.com/aaronjanse/3mux but 'readelf -n -W /usr/bin/3mux only' shows .note.gnu.build-id and .note.go.buildid. I actually think it'd be useful to fix the note additions for rust and go. Both rust and go binaries are fairly portable between different systems, and the notes would help identify such binaries. I'll see if I can figure out rust… I don't know anything about go, so any help would welcome.
