Bug 173927 – dev-libs/boost-1.33.1-r1 is broken on cross compilation

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ihar `Philips` Filipau 2007-04-09 16:36:36 UTC]

dev-util/boost build (1.33.1-r1, boost jam bases) uses short compiler name - "g++" - instead of fully qualified one.

That breaks cross and/or distributed compilations. And breaks it badly, since it seems that boost library tries to workaround compiler bugs and proceeds with compilation even despite assembly and linking errors.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Please attach the build-log.

Created attachment 115842 [details]
dev-libs/boost build log distcc + ppc + x86/cross

target: ppc
distccd: x86 + crossdev

That's definitely looks like output of PowerPC preprocessor/assembler was tried on x86.

PowerPC is main host. And one/two x86 are parts of distccd compile farm with crossdev for ppc.

The build was interrupted by me - since this is not first time I have the breakage. If needed I can run it again - to produce complete log.

BTW, is there any option to emerge to save build log?

Going to close this since it's rather old. Please re-open if you can reproduce this with boost-1.39.
