Bug 650506 – sys-devel/llvm-6.0.0 on arm64 - CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:52 (message): The C compiler "/usr/bin/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc" is not able to compile a simple test program.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roy Bamford 2018-03-14 18:57:21 UTC]

sys-devel/llvm-6.0.0 no longer builds on ~arm64. 
emerge says 
[ebuild   R    ] sys-devel/llvm-6.0.0:6::gentoo  USE="libffi ncurses xml -debug (-doc) -gold -libedit {-test} -xar" LLVM_TARGETS="(AArch64) BPF -AMDGPU -ARM -Hexagon -Lanai -MSP430 -Mips -NVPTX -PowerPC -Sparc -SystemZ -X86 -XCore" 0 KiB
So it has worked.

The -- Check for working C compiler fails.

-- Found assembler: /usr/bin/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc

  It fails with the following output:

Missed emerge --info.  Sorry about that.

[Comment 2 Alexey Korepanov 2018-03-15 22:03:38 UTC]

I am affected, in a very similar setup.

[Comment 3 Yourpleasure 2018-03-17 07:48:18 UTC]

in file "llvm-6.0.0.ebuild", it said that
    # workaround BMI bug in gcc-7 (fixed in 7.4)
    # https://bugs.gentoo.org/649880
    if tc-is-gcc && [[ $(gcc-major-version) -eq 7 && $(gcc-minor-version) -lt 4 ]]; then
        local CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -mno-bmi"
        local CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -mno-bmi"
    fi
I think this might be the program.
I will remove those lines and have a test.

[Comment 4 Yourpleasure 2018-03-17 15:50:53 UTC]

When remove those lines, I can emerge llvm now. But I don't know whether there is something wrong with it.

[Comment 5 Roy Bamford 2018-03-22 15:18:55 UTC]

        # workaround BMI bug in gcc-7 (fixed in 7.4)
        # https://bugs.gentoo.org/649880
        if tc-is-gcc && [[ $(gcc-major-version) -eq 7 && $(gcc-minor-version) -lt 4 ]]; then
                local CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -mno-bmi"
                local CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -mno-bmi"
        fi

From man gcc, the -mbmi or-mno-bmi option appears to be x86 specific, so this fix should only be applied to amd64.

[Comment 6 Michał Górny 2018-03-23 09:06:23 UTC]

Yeah, I'll fix that. Thanks for reporting.
