Bug#624354: ./xpcshell: error while loading shared libraries: ./libxul.so: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0f9f0148 for symbol `_restgpr_29_x' out of range

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: xulrunner-1.9.1
Version: 1.9.1.18-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

installing conkeror on my powerpc pulled xulrunner/libmozjs, and that
error happened:
| Setting up xulrunner-1.9.1 (1.9.1.18-1) ...
| ./xpcshell: error while loading shared libraries: ./libxul.so: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0f9f0148 for symbol `_restgpr_29_x' out of range

Complete output of the aptitude run:

The installation seems to be successful, even though conkeror doesn't run:
| kibi at caol-ila:~$ conkeror
| Segmentation fault
| expr: syntax error
| Segmentation fault
| expr: syntax error
| xulrunner version 1.9 required, but not found. Bailing out.
| [ret:1] kibi at caol-ila:~$

Might be an unrelated issue though. Please let me know if you want me
to test anything.
