Description Dennis Nezic 2020-08-05 12:29:26 UTC

end of build.log

Fails about 20% into the compilation process.

I tried upgrading gcc, binutils, glib, glib-utils, glibc, gobject-introspection, and it still failed there.

Any idea what might be causing this?

(That "@GLIBCXX_3.4.26" error message from ld looks weird. It's the only time it appears in the 12MB build.log. I have nothing with that version on my system.)

Comment 3 Dennis Nezic 2020-08-06 21:28:00 UTC
I think the issue might be related to this: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88782

But I was compiling stuff with gcc-8.3 for over a year without this issue. I recently upgraded to gcc-10.2

Other packages that depend on webkit-gtk are also failing with this error message. For example, www-client/luakit, and www-client/surf:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o surf surf.o -lX11  -lgthread-2.0 -pthread -lwebkit2gtk-4.0 -lgtk-3 -lgdk-3 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -latk-1.0 -lcairo-gobject -lcairo -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lsoup-2.4 -lgio-2.0 -ljavascriptcoregtk-4.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0

When I try to "eselect gcc set" back to 8.3, I get a similar error message, but with the 8.3.0/ directory:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o surf surf.o -lX11  -lgthread-2.0 -pthread -lwebkit2gtk-4.0 -lgtk-3 -lgdk-3 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -latk-1.0 -lcairo-gobject -lcairo -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lsoup-2.4 -lgio-2.0 -ljavascriptcoregtk-4.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0

Any idea how to fix this? Do I have to recompile everything with the new gcc-10.2? :S Sigh.
Comment 4 Dennis Nezic 2020-08-06 21:31:36 UTC
Oh btw I was able to compile net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.28.4 after disabling "introspection" and recompiling libstdc++-v3 (I'm not sure which of these two did the trick).
Comment 5 Dennis Nezic 2020-08-06 21:36:02 UTC
... and after upgrading net-libs/webkit-gtk, I can no longer run any of my browsers that depend on it.

GLIBCXX_3.4.26-versioned symbols were added after gcc-9.1.0. That means you have built and linked /usr/lib64/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18 with gcc-9's libstdc++ or above.

If you want it to be compatible with older gccs you need to rebuild libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18 library (and perhaps it's dependencies) with older (current) gcc.

Note: downgrading libraries in general is more painful process as you are removing symbols that were introduced in newer versions.
Comment 7 Dennis Nezic 2020-08-06 23:10:59 UTC
I "fixed" the issue via some ugly hacking: I made /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.3.0 a symlink to the new 10.2.0 directory ... so that the old apps now use the newly compiled libstdc++.so. Now I can run the old browsers, and compile them again.

So I guess this is some nasty issue with upgrading sys-devel/gcc and/or sys-libs/libstdc++

That's a good way to break your system. If you still have gcc-10 installed it's library is supposed to be used first.

Check contents of /etc/ld.so.conf.d/05gcc-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.conf and make sure you have gcc-10's path first and valid.
Comment 9 Dennis Nezic 2020-08-07 01:41:35 UTC
Thanks for the info Sergei! 05gcc-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.conf indeed had 8.3.0 listed first. I will reverse that and see if it helps.

Recompiling gcc (many hours) and webkit-gtk (even more hours than gcc... ie. days) will not be fun :'(.

Perhaps we should be warned against upgrading to the latest gcc to avoid this mess?
Comment 10 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2020-08-07 05:19:41 UTC
Seems like nothing to do for gnome@, so switching around the assignee and CC between gnome and toolchain

I suggest not edit toolchain files manually. It's hard to see what was broken due to software bugs and what was broken by manual edits.

The order is supposed to be correct. We fixed it in gcc-config-2.2 and above as:
    https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/gcc-config.git/commit/?id=bc80e12ab133a00ece4059df40d672889fcf6bf0

You were asked to provide emerge --info. That would contain gcc-config version. 

Can you attach the emerge --info result?

We need to find out first what is causing the problem.

Does your gcc-config still generate invalid ordering if you switch gcc versions around? 05gcc-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.conf ordering is supposed not to depend on selected gcc version.
Comment 12 Dennis Nezic 2020-08-07 12:29:51 UTC
I was using an old version of gcc-config (1.9.1). The newer ones did indeed properly order 05gcc.. stuff. shouldn't >=gcc-config-2.2 have been made a dependency for gcc-10 ? :s

In a perfect world yes, lower bound should be there. As well as many other lower bound dependencies from distant past.

It makes sense to hale a lower bound when there is a reasonable change to have an outdated version installed.

But generally Gentoo does not add dependencies against outdated package versions and assumes system is reasonably (at least ~6 months old fresh) up to date. If you keep packages long deleted from the tree and use it against fresh ebuilds in tree then many assumptions start to break.

gcc-config-1.9.1 was removed from ::gentoo more than a half a year before gcc-10 was added:

    sys-devel/gcc: bump up to 10.1.0

I suggest upgrading your system to get it into a consistent state. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Working/Portage#Updating_the_system has details on how to do it.

As gnome@ was the initial project involved here, I want to point out that gnome@ packages carry minimum versions as known to be needed, even if older than the minimum needed has been long gone. And that I'm not aware of any such generic standard to not properly express minimum dependencies when they are known - and even less so cases where a minimum dep is expressed, but it's found to be wrong (toolchain.eclass has an explicit >=gcc-config-1.7 PDEPEND).

Good point. We can raise minimum version there.

    toolchain.eclass: raise minimum gcc-config up to 2.3
    
    In #736040 gcc-config-1.9 was not able to handle gcc-10 paths.
    Let's raise lower bound to minimum stable version currently in
    ::gentoo.
