Comment 2 Tom Lloyd 2011-02-18 17:12:39 UTC
Sorry, forgot to add this may be related to bug 344885, which appears to fail in the same file but with a different error.
Comment 3 Rafał Mużyło 2011-02-18 18:08:21 UTC
Bug 344885 seems unrelated - here libmystrings.so doesn't get linked with libm.
Comment 4 Wormo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-02-18 23:58:57 UTC
Actually it is being linked to libm:

../strings/.libs/libmystrings.so -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread
-lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -L/usr//lib -lz -lpthread
-lcrypt -lnsl -lm

but checking 'man finite':
 Note that these functions are obsolete.  C99 defines macros isfinite(),
 isinf(), and isnan() (for all types) replacing them. 

and the problem turns out to be that uclibc libm has the C99 standard name isfinite() instead of the BSDism finite(), while glibc supports both. Replacing finite() calls by isfinite() should solve this problem.
Comment 5 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2011-04-17 22:49:54 UTC
embedded:
mysql-$PV/include/my_global.h contains the following (whitespace added for legibility):
#ifndef isfinite
#  ifdef HAVE_FINITE
#    define isfinite(x) finite(x)
#  else
#    define finite(x) (1.0 / fabs(x) > 0.0)
#  endif /* HAVE_FINITE */
#endif /* isfinite */

Ergo we do NOT need to change finite() -> isfinite(), and your headers should instead not be exporting HAVE_FINITE if it's not available. See also the HAVE_ISINF block in the same file.
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2011-04-30 02:57:24 UTC
nowhere does uClibc define HAVE_FINITE.  it does however #define isfinite.  so your own snippet shows the problem.  mysql does not correctly provide a replacement for finite() in its headers when HAVE_FINITE is not defined but isfinite is.

I've confirmed this is still present on mysql / mariadb 5.5.28, so I assume mysql will still fail to build on uclibc.

Actually, the answer lies in data no longer available.
From build log:
checking for finite... no

so config.log would have most likely given the answer, but it's not here and has been most likely long deleted since.
Comment 9 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-11-17 08:15:57 UTC
(In reply to comment #8)

you don't need a log to figure this out.  uclibc's libm doesn't provide finite().

$ readelf -sW /lib/libm.so.0  | grep finite
    15: 000081b0    17 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    8 __finitef
    24: 00008c80    36 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    8 __finitel
    25: 00006b88    35 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    8 __finite
Comment 10 Rafał Mużyło 2012-11-17 14:10:51 UTC
Lets change the question then.
For recent glibc, _GNU_SOURCE among other sets (in a way) -std=c99, so isinf/isfinite are defined.
Could is be that uclibc provides a combination of conditions for those two, that my_global.h doesn't cover correctly ?
Comment 11 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-11-17 19:06:31 UTC
(In reply to comment #10)

uClibc provides isinf/isfinite in the headers.  but configure is doing a link test for the finite symbols in libm which uClibc doesn't currently provide.

if all the code cares about is isinf/isfinite, then it should do a compile test on that and skip checking for specific finite symbols.
