Description Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2020-10-16 03:37:02 UTC 
libseccomp-2.5.0 has a compile failure on mips due to an upstream change that conflicts with a compiler-defined macro:

libtool: compile:  mips64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/usr/obj/portage/sys-libs/libseccomp-2.5.0/work/libseccomp-2.5.0/src -I.. -I/usr/obj/portage/sys-libs/libseccomp-2.5.0/work/libseccomp-2.5.0/include -I../include -Wall -O2 -pipe -march=r12k -mtune=r12k -mno-fix-r10000 -mabi=n32 -mplt -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-stack-protector -fPIC -DPIC -fvisibility=hidden -O2 -pipe -march=r12k -mtune=r12k -mno-fix-r10000 -mabi=n32 -mplt -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-stack-protector -c /usr/obj/portage/sys-libs/libseccomp-2.5.0/work/libseccomp-2.5.0/src/arch-x86.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libseccomp_la-arch-x86.o

Upstream has since fixed this by setting -Umips in configure.ac in AM_FLAGS, and then modifying Makefile.in to include it.  I looked at the ebuild, and it currently does not call eautoreconf, and I am hesitant to add it for this one version.  Upstream should have the fix included when libseccomp-2.5.1 is released, so I am going to mask 2.5.0 for the time being, and this bug will serve as a reminder to recheck things in 2.5.1.  libseccomp-2.4.4 currently compiles on mips, so that version will keep us covered.

    sys-libs/libseccomp: Negate the MIPS keyword on 2.5.0
    
    There is a compile failure on the MIPS architecture for libseccomp-2.5.0
    that is fixed in upstream and will be in libseccomp-2.5.1.  We can hold
    at v2.4.4 for now until the next version comes out.

Comment 2 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2021-02-08 19:48:47 UTC 
Recently built libseccomp-2.5.1 on mips64 and it compiles without issue.  Marking this as RESOLVED UPSTREAM, since the fix happened there.
