Bug 508502 – app-emulation/virtualbox-modules - x86_64-pc-linux-gnux32-ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf64-x86-64 (.../work/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.o) to format elf32-x86-64 (.../work/vboxdrv/vboxdrv.o) is not supported

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 427052
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tiago Marques 2014-04-23 13:37:18 UTC]

Hi,

Looking for some help getting this package to build. My system is currently setup with ABI_X86="x32" only, as I was having trouble building other packages with ABI_X86="x32 64", not sure why.

Below is the output I get and it builds fine if I "cd" into the build directory and type "make". The problem seems to stem from the LDFLAGS variable being passed to make:

LDFLAGS=-m elf32_x86_64

Help on how to try to fix this is highly appreciated.

Best regards,
Tiago

Installed the modules compiled outside of Portage and they load fine. virtualbox-bin also seems to work great. Thus far haven't noticed any issues.

I think this is bug 427052.

And that bug was finally fixed recently so this duplicate should presumably be closed too.
