ABI=x86 emerge =procps-3.2.5-r1 fails with the 32bit-userland profile: !!! ERROR: sys-process/procps-3.2.5-r1 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 1933: Called dyn_install !!! File /var/tmp/portage/procps-3.2.5-r1/image///lib32/libproc-3.2.5.so matches a file type that is not allowed in /lib32
seems like this is a candidate for KERNEL_ABI: from Makefile: # Be 64-bit if at all possible. In a cross-compiling situation, one may # do "make m64=-m32 lib64=lib" to produce 32-bit executables. DO NOT # attempt to use a 32-bit executable on a 64-bit kernel. Packagers MUST # produce separate executables for ppc and ppc64, s390 and s390x, # i386 and x86-64, mips and mips64, sparc and sparc64, and so on. # Failure to do so will cause data corruption.
since i couldn't find any library dependencies on libproc (only binary deps) we just force ABI=$KERNEL_ABI now. everything else doesn't work anyway according to the makefile
i dont really get the "solution" here
Without even hacking the code or Makefile: You can statically link it. You can link against uClibc. (last I heard) You can link against dietlibc. (last I heard) What you can't do is have a 32-bit procps run correctly on a 64-bit kernel. It fails the test suite. There is no good reason to do this anyway; it just makes your system slow and buggy. This suggests another option: run a 32-bit kernel. (still slow, but less buggy than a mismatched system) If space is the issue, perhaps you'd prefer busybox.
a 32bit kernel isn't slower than a 64bit one
he didnt say that
