Description

gdb from Impala's toolchain is not running properly on centos 7:

00:52:23 gdb: /../lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by gdb)
00:52:23 gdb: /../lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by gdb)
00:52:23 gdb: /../lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.11' not found (required by gdb)
00:52:23 gdb: /../lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by gdb)
00:52:23 gdb: /../lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.22' not found (required by gdb)
00:52:23 gdb: /../lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by gdb)
00:52:23 gdb: /../lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by gdb)
00:52:23 gdb: /../lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.11' not found (required by gdb)
00:52:23 gdb: /../lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by gdb)
00:52:23 gdb: /../lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.22' not found (required by gdb)

gdb was upgraded to version 12.1 in the upgrade to GCC 10. The rpath for GDB does not contain $ORIGIN entries:

$ objdump -p gdb | grep RPATH
  RPATH                RIGIN/../lib64:/../lib64:RIGIN/../lib:/../lib:/mnt/source/gdb/gdb-12.1/gmp-6.1.0/install/lib

Here are some expected values for RPATH:

$ objdump -p zstd | grep RPATH
  RPATH                $ORIGIN/../lib64:$$ORIGIN/../lib64:$ORIGIN/../lib:$$ORIGIN/../lib
$ objdump -p thrift | grep RPATH
  RPATH                RIGIN/../lib64:$ORIGIN/../lib64:RIGIN/../lib:$ORIGIN/../lib 

gdb seems to have another layer of variable resolution or something. So, we need to fix gdb's RPATH in the toolchain.

As a workaround, someone can install chrpth and do:

chrpath -r '$ORIGIN/../lib:$ORIGIN/../lib64' gdb
