"premature EOF reading fixed-length data" on mips elf

[catvayor]

I have multiple binaries built for mips32, bloaty can read them with -d segments,sections, but when using -d symbols, it failed with the output :

❯ bloaty -s file -w -d symbols lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-256.so
bloaty: premature EOF reading fixed-length data

version :

❯ bloaty --version
Bloaty McBloatface 1.1

@catvayor You wouldn't happen to still have the libsystemd-shared-256.so binary to see if this is still an issue? I tried to locate one but I cant find a mips32 libsystemd-shared-N.so after libsystemd-shared-252.so. And the mipsel libsystemd-shared-252.so didn't reproduce your issue with either Bloaty 1.1 or HEAD.

Hello, sorry I don't think the specific file still exists today... I was working on trying to minimize systemd for a target mips32 with a very small storage, so custom compilation flags, with a lot of test and retry, with a lot of build chain containment issues. I dropped this project last year (like a month after my issue), I pinged some guys who may be able to rebuild an equivalent binaries, but I can't give you guaranties...
