* same result with gcc-7.2 and binutils-2.29.1
Comment 4 Steve Arnold archtester gentoo-dev 2017-10-04 04:29:23 UTC
Not getting much of a backtrace either; any tips?

Comment 5 Steve Arnold archtester gentoo-dev 2017-10-04 17:47:04 UTC
Also note this is most likely not hardware related; the jetson builds *everything* without issues, including gcc with Ada about 1000 times getting the armv7 gnat build sorted.  So there is that...
Comment 6 Enrique Domínguez 2017-10-07 11:14:21 UTC
I think it could be related, cross compiling on amd64 results in illegal instruction on install phase too. I could compile and install as user without gentoo patchset. Have you tried compiling and installing as user without patches?
Comment 7 Steve Arnold archtester gentoo-dev 2017-11-20 03:49:48 UTC
As far as I can tell, this looks like it might be glibc-related, as it now segfaults on all the updated armv7 roots I have, but it still builds on the ones with older glibc (2.23/2.4). Other than that I got nothin' until I can test a little more.
Comment 8 Steve Arnold archtester gentoo-dev 2017-11-21 06:04:44 UTC
And a data point that makes even less sense now; I started from an arm root that was on gcc 5.4.0 and (now masked) binutils/glibc, 3 ruby versions installed, each one version back:

$ equery l -op ruby
 * Searching for ruby ...
[I--] [??] dev-lang/ruby-2.2.7:2.2

[I--] [??] dev-lang/ruby-2.4.1:2.4
[-P-] [  ] dev-lang/ruby-2.4.2:2.4

Upgraded toolchain to 4.13 headers, 2.29.1-r1, gcc 6.4.0, and glibc 2.25-r9, then started upgrading ruby:

ruby-2.2.8: no segfault, installed

ruby-2.3.5: no segfault, installed (coughed a warning about glibc headers)

ruby-2.4.2: no segfault, installed

Still fails on the other root, same everything except glibc was already updated to 2.26.  Any thoughts?
Comment 9 Steve Arnold archtester gentoo-dev 2017-11-21 21:32:17 UTC
So, I installed binary packagess built on system "A" onto system "B" and they still segfault.  Moved the rootfs from system "A" to system "B" and ruby rebuilds itself just fine, so there was something in the system "B" runtime dorking up ruby.  The only difference in the core packages was glibc 2.26 (plus new dep lib) in system "B" root vs. 2.25-r9 in the system "A" root.  Since I have a current tarball snapshot now I will update toolchain on system "A" and test again.
Comment 10 Steve Arnold archtester gentoo-dev 2017-11-21 21:35:26 UTC

Working root on system "B", rebuilt gcc-6.4.0 with USE=ada and ruby is still happy:

>>> dev-lang/ruby-2.3.5 merged.
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> Auto-cleaning packages...

So I will rule that factor out for now.

Upgraded glibc to latest 2.26 and here we go...

./miniruby -I./lib -I. -I.ext/common  ./tool/mkconfig.rb -timestamp=.rbconfig.time \
        -arch=armv7a-linux-eabi -version=2.3.5 \
        -install_name=ruby23 \
        -so_name=ruby23 rbconfig.rb
./miniruby -I./lib -I. -I.ext/common  ./tool/generic_erb.rb -c -o encdb.h ./template/encdb.h.tmpl ./enc enc
make: *** [uncommon.mk:625: .rbconfig.time] Segmentation fault

So, I went back and tried a (slightly older) clean rootfs where ruby didn't segfault, upgraded to latest glibc 2.25, and finished the build update with no ruby issues, whereas glibc 2.26 makes it segfault.

Since the segfaults started happening well before 2.26 was available, but then were fixed by some patch update in 2.25 (sorry I have no idea which patch) my best guess is 2.26 also needs whatever that patch was...

My only workaround is masking glibc/libtirpc/libnsl for now on arm; it should be reproducible on hardened armv7a stage3 by upgrading toolchain and trying to install ruby if anyone else wants to take a stab.
