Bug 67396 – genkernel 3.0.2g fails on dietlibc.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Lebel 2004-10-13 08:54:39 UTC]

When I try to build an initrd with genkernel, it fails at the following step:

/var/tmp/genkernel/diet/lib-i386/libc.a(logging.o)(.text+0x644): In function `setlogmask':
: undefined reference to `connect'
/var/tmp/genkernel/diet/lib-i386/libc.a(logging.o)(.text+0x708): In function `setlogmask':
: undefined reference to `socket'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm including the complete genkernel.log.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. genkernel --udev initrd
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
See the attached log.

Your bug report is missing all the good stuff like 'emerge info' and telling everybody what versions of what your trying to build.

Well, additional note:

this isn't dietlibc per se that's causing the error.  Process barfs when compiling rmmod, modprobe and all the other module-init-tools components.  The lack of connect and socket seems to be the cause of the error.

[Comment 5 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-10-14 11:30:43 UTC]

Want to try genkernel 3.0.2h? Just copy genkernel-3.0.2g.ebuild to genkernel-3.0.2h.ebuild and then run ebuild /usr/portage/sys-kernel/genkernel/genkernel-3.0.2h.ebuild digest and then emerge it. Thanks!

[Comment 6 David Lebel 2004-10-14 11:32:52 UTC]

OK, never mind.

Looks like for some odd reason, the dietlibc that was in my genkernel's bincache was compiled without all the fonction calls.  Now, after making sure all the cache where removed, I restarted my genkernel and it went thru just fine.

I'm closing this bug.
