libpthread_nonshared.a is required by Oracle installations. This breaks ABI. Fedora solved it with a compat package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1625507
(In reply to Ortwin Glueck from comment #0) > libpthread_nonshared.a is required by Oracle installations. This breaks ABI. Presence or absence of a static internal library is arguably not an ABI. It's a very low level implementation detail. Do you have a build.log for gentoo package that exhibits a failure? The fix is probably a one-liner. > Fedora solved it with a compat package: > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1625507 That is a workaround and upstream does not plan to add the library back: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23500 I suggest you to file a bug against the vendor (Oracle?) to fix it properly. As a workaround you can craft a standalone package that creates empty libpthread_nonshared.a library.
OK, thank you. I just created an empty archive manually (would be trivial to add to the ebuild): # cat /usr/lib64/libpthread_nonshared.a !<arch> This solves the problem mainly. For reference also $ORACLE_HOME/lib/stubs/libc.so GROUP ( /usr/lib64/libc.so /usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a ) using system glibc now so all stack protector symbols like __stack_chk_fail resolve. Filing a bug against an old Oracle version is not a solution for me. It won't ever get fixed, especially since Oracle doesn't even list Gentoo as a supported system. But hey, we can make it work anyway. We are using Gentoo on almost all our Linux servers and I don't want to migrate to Oracle Linux just because...
