I can reproduce the problem and this looks like something
to fix or at least work around, either in gcc or in musl.
Running with the implicit loader works, but using the explicit one yields:
----------------------------------------------------------------
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
2
$ /pathtomusllibc.so --library-path /pathtogcc-5libs /pathto/jv-convert --help
Usage: jv-convert [OPTIONS] [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]
Convert from one encoding to another.
--encoding FROM
--from FROM use FROM as source encoding name
--to TO use TO as target encoding name
-i FILE read from FILE
-o FILE print output to FILE
--reverse swap FROM and TO encodings
--help print this help, then exit
--version print version number, then exit
`-' as a file name argument can be used to refer to stdin or stdout.
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
$ /pathtomusllibc.so --library-path /pathtogcc-5libs /pathto/jv-convert --help
Segmentation fault
----------------------------------------------------------------
Would anybody try this and confirm or refute?
