Details

Description:
Running an arch, which has glibc 2.26 installed, within an nspawn container seems to
completely break the ability to use Ctrl-C in bash. Bash will not respond to Ctrl-C presses
at all and it will throw the following of error during startup:

-bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
-bash: no job control in this shell

Downgrading back to glibc 2.25 within the container fixes the problem. Other shells are
affected too, I've tested zsh and sh which were behaving in the same way as
bash (not responding to Ctrl-C). Fish refused to start at all.

Additional info:
* package version(s): glibc 2.26

Steps to reproduce:
1. Get latest arch bootstrap image.
2. Launch systemd-nspawn container from the image.
3. Observe not working Ctrl-C and bash errors.
This task depends upon

"package version" under additional info doesn't give the package version. Versions in Arch include the -<pkgrel> at the end.

Anyway, upstream ticket: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22145

Apologies, it is glibc 2.26-6.

Thanks for pointing out the upstream bug, I built a custom glibc with patches
from their bugtracker and the problem was fixed! I had to make minor modifications
to the patches because they wouldn't apply cleanly against arch's glibc.

I've attached the modified patchset, in case anyone's interested.

Thanks Anton, I will look at your backported patches and most likely apply them during the week.
