Bug 739612 – [musl] sys-libs/binutils-libs-2.34-r2: libbfd.so depends on libintl_dgettext

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew Savchenko 2020-08-30 09:05:03 UTC]

Hi!

$ objdump -T /usr/lib/binutils/x86_64-gentoo-linux-musl/2.34/libbfd-2.34.0.gentoo-sys-devel-binutils-st.so | grep libintl
0000000000000000      D  *UND*  0000000000000000              libintl_dgettext

And there is no libintl_dgettext on musl, so this renders libbfd unusable and leads to build failures like:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-gentoo-linux-musl/10.2.0/../../../../x86_64-gentoo-linux-musl/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-gentoo-linux-musl/10.2.0/../../../../lib/libbfd.so: undefined reference to `libintl_dgettext'

(I'm trying to build dev-util/oprofile on musl and can't due to this problem.)

Confirmed.
    # LDFLAGS=-Wl,--no-undefined emerge -v1 sys-libs/binutils-libs
yields build failure for me as well.

As a workaround you can use USE=-nls

should this be a package.use.mask for musl profiles?
