well,it builds fine here at 2 images (and 2.3.4 at a  stable too), 2 others don't fit the prereqs, but it fails at this particular image.

I had the same problem and fixed it by rebuilding sys-devel/flex (emerge -1va sys-devel/flex). After that I also needed MAKEOPTS=-j1 for emerge motif.

[Comment 13 Ulrich Müller 2017-05-10 09:02:27 UTC]

Is this still an issue?

Can you reinstall sys-devel/flex and attach its build.log please (and verify if the motif build failure still occurs then)?

I ran into this this morning, emerge -1 flex motif works for me

[Comment 26 Ulrich Müller 2017-12-30 10:38:19 UTC]

As discussed on IRC:

<ulm> toralf: do the emerge-history.txt files attached to your tinderbox bugs   
      contain the complete history since inception of the image?
<toralf> ulm: yes
<toralf> ulm: https://github.com/toralf/tinderbox/blob/master/bin/job.sh#L180
<ulm> toralf: so if I don't see sys-devel/flex in the history attached to bug   
      583842, it means that the flex lib is the one from stage3?
<toralf> ulm: yes
<ulm> is there a way to find out from what stage an image was built?
<toralf> ulm: I do download always the latest stage3 image accordingly to the   
         profile :                                                              
         https://github.com/toralf/tinderbox/blob/master/bin/setup_img.sh#L149

Since there is no trace of sys-devel/flex in attachment 481552 [details], /usr/lib64/libfl.a would be the library originating from the original stage3.

If I copy libfl.a from the latest stage3 (stage3-amd64-20171228T214501Z.tar.xz) then I can reproduce the bug. I get a warning for "creating a DT_TEXTREL in a shared object" when linking the wmluiltok binary and subsequently a segmentation fault. Looking into that stage3, I find that it still contains a link to 13.0 profiles, so it has been compiled with gcc-6.4.0 but without pie, which is inconsistent with the settings in the 17.0 profile.

So, unless somebody can provide a recipe how to reproduce the problem on a system that was built with consistent compiler settings, I am inclined to resolve this bug as INVALID.

[Comment 27 Ulrich Müller 2017-12-30 10:44:01 UTC]

(In reply to Kobboi from comment #25)
> emerge -1 flex motif works for me

Right, this seems to be the workaround of choice.

Failure is also expected when switching from a 13.0 profile (nopie) to a 17.0 or 17.1 profile (pie), and rebuilding x11-libs/motif before rebuilding sys-devel/flex. Leaving this bug open, in order to prevent further duplicates.

Apparently, this doesn't prevent dupes. Closing.

[Comment 32 Ulrich Müller 2018-01-03 23:07:11 UTC]

Repeating it here again: The news item for upgrading to 17.0 profiles https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2017-11-30-new-17-profiles.html clearly states:

    * Rebuild your entire system
        emerge -e @world

This certainly covers rebuilding of sys-devel/flex. Since motif has a build-time dependency on flex, proper order of rebuilds is also guaranteed.

(And yes, users who know what they are doing might rebuild only a smaller set of packages. In any case, that set must include all packages installing *.a static libraries.)

[Comment 35 Robert Wolf 2018-02-16 15:42:15 UTC]

Dear Ulrich,

I got these "Segmentation fault ./wmluiltok" and "Symbol `exit' causes overflow in R_X86_64_PC32 relocation" errors in fresh stage3 chroot with profile 17.0. grknight has advised me to recompile flex and really, it has fixed this problem.

But recompiling flex is no obvious solution for this bug. Could someone check and repair the stage3 to be able compile motif without recompiling flex? Otherwise it should be somewhere noticed to recompile flex before motif or if this error comes on motif compilation.

In fact, does it means stage3 wasn't correctly created according to news about profile 17.0.

Thank you.

Regards.

Robert Wolf.

[Comment 36 Robert Wolf 2018-02-16 16:01:07 UTC]

Hi Ulrich,

grknight has reported my problem with stage3 to iamben. Probably old flex has been included into stage3 with profile 17.

Regards,

Robert.

[Comment 37 Ulrich Müller 2018-02-16 18:36:32 UTC]

(In reply to Robert Wolf from comment #35)

Ack, the current stage3-amd64-20180206T214502Z.tar.xz still contains an old flex library: 

$ ls -l usr/lib64/libfl.a 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2844 Dec 15 21:40 usr/lib64/libfl.a

You can also check this with "nm -u /usr/lib64/libfl.a": It should show a symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ for the 17.0 version.
