Bug 704468 – net-vpn/wireguard-modules-0.0.20191226 - i686-pc-linux-gnu-ld: relocatable linking with relocations from format elf64-x86-64 (...) to format elf32-i386 (...) is not supported

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Kernel is 64 bits but user land is 32, makes wireguard build fail with:

I forced some env. vars for this module:
# > cat /etc/portage/env/arch_x86_64.conf
LDEMULATION="elf_x86_64"
BUILD_FIXES="CFLAGS_MODULE=-m64 AFLAGS_MODULE=-m64"

Now it builds

Is this therefore a bug? Anything I should be doing?

I think so, in tree modules build fine
Moticed that it is enough to just use
LDEMULATION="elf_x86_64"

I guess that ld is used to link somewhere rather than using gcc

or not passing CFLAGS when linking with gcc?

Perhaps net-vpn/wireguard-modules should be tree cleaned and we
just close this bug?
