Description Alexander Tsoy 2018-10-23 16:25:28 UTC
When building cross-glibc, sanity_prechecks() is called with build host CFLAGS resulting in a fail of tc-enables-pie() and a warning message: "PIE hardening not applied, as your compiler doesn't default to PIE".

Part of the debug log:

...
++ armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -E -O2 -march=bdver2 -mtune=bdver2 -mno-tbm -mno-fma4 -mno-xop -mno-lwp -pipe -P -
+ local RESULT=
+ [[ '' == true ]]
+ ewarn 'PIE hardening not applied, as your compiler doesn'\''t default to PIE'
...


$ sudo emerge -1av cross-armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/glibc

Comment 2 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-10-24 18:53:28 UTC
I don't think it's misleading. setup_flags() has the following code:

    if [[ $(gcc-major-version) -lt 6 ]]; then
        if use hardened && tc-enables-pie ; then
            append-cppflags -DPIC
        else
            filter-flags -fPIE
        fi
    fi

And tc-enables-pie() returns 0 here, apparently because it is called after strip-unsupported-flags(). Or am I missing the purpose of the warning?

I don't think this warning was ever working for cross/glibc package. CC meaning is very skewed there. One day we'll get rid of it (https://bugs.gentoo.org/642604#c6).

For native case apart from missing '$(gcc-major-version) -lt 6' guard warning used to provide some signal. Nowadays it's not very interesting.

I deleted it.

Thanks for the report!
