It has been reported and a fix is on the way:

Crash under glibc 2.41 due to libopenlibm having an executable stack

opened 10:25PM - 03 Feb 25 UTC

system:linux external dependencies

With glibc-2.41, ``` ldd --version … ldd (GNU libc) 2.41 Copyright (C) 2024 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Written by Roland McGrath and Ulrich Drepper. ``` I get the following error trying to run Julia 1.9.4, 1.10.8, and 1.11.3. ``` ERROR: Unable to load dependent library /home/kevin/.julia/juliaup/julia-1.11.3+0.x64.linux.gnu/bin/../lib/julia/libopenlibm.so Message:/home/kevin/.julia/juliaup/julia-1.11.3+0.x64.linux.gnu/bin/../lib/julia/libopenlibm.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Invalid argument ``` Nightly (1.12.0-DEV.1971) starts without an error. Downgrading to glibc-2.40 and lib32-glibc-2.40 fixes the error on all versions. ``` ldd --version ldd (GNU libc) 2.40 Copyright (C) 2024 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Written by Roland McGrath and Ulrich Drepper. ``` I assume it's the same issue as https://github.com/ValveSoftware/portal2/issues/451 which as the author points out, likely results from this change in glibc-2.41: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2025-01/msg00014.html * dlopen and dlmopen no longer make the stack executable if a shared library requires it, either implicitly because of a missing GNU_STACK ELF header (and default ABI permission having the executable bit set) or explicitly because of the executable bit in GNU_STACK, and the stack is not already executable. Instead, loading such objects will fail.
