Subject: bug#58033: PatchELF can create broken ELF binaries
Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2023 20:43:28 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I think I've found another instance of this bug.
Unlike <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58033#0>, I'm getting an error 
message from validate-runpath, in the form of a type error.  Regardless 
of whether PatchELF's output is correct, I think there shouldn't be any 
type errors.

$ guix build -f guix.scm
[...]

The file "guix.scm" contains the following (remember to comment-out 
#:strip-binaries? #false) (while there is a (license #f) line, that's 
just because I didn't fill everything in yet; the software is actually 
free):
