Created attachment 677200 [details] dev-libs/glib-2.66.3 build failure glibc's bits/stat.h header tricks the configure feature detection in at least dev-libs/glib and app-arch/zstd (see bug 735818). The issue is # define __ST_TIME(X) \ __extension__ union { \ struct timespec st_##X##tim; \ struct { \ __time_t st_##X##time; \ unsigned long st_##X##timensec; \ }; \ } ... a neat trick using an anonymous union to provide st_mtimensec, et al. glib's configuration results look like this on amd64: Checking if "statx() test" compiles: YES Header <locale.h> has symbol "LC_MESSAGES" : YES Checking whether type "struct stat" has member "st_mtimensec" : NO Checking whether type "struct stat" has member "st_mtim.tv_nsec" : YES Checking whether type "struct stat" has member "st_atimensec" : NO Checking whether type "struct stat" has member "st_atim.tv_nsec" : YES Checking whether type "struct stat" has member "st_ctimensec" : NO Checking whether type "struct stat" has member "st_ctim.tv_nsec" : YES but like this on alpha: Checking if "statx() test" compiles: YES Header <locale.h> has symbol "LC_MESSAGES" : YES Checking whether type "struct stat" has member "st_mtimensec" : YES Checking whether type "struct stat" has member "st_mtim.tv_nsec" : YES Checking whether type "struct stat" has member "st_atimensec" : YES Checking whether type "struct stat" has member "st_atim.tv_nsec" : YES Checking whether type "struct stat" has member "st_ctimensec" : YES Checking whether type "struct stat" has member "st_ctim.tv_nsec" : YES which ultimately causes the build to compile a path that doesn't work. (Attached is the build failure snippet)
Created attachment 677203 [details] 0001-alpha-Remove-anonymous-union-in-struct-stat.patch I'm going to send this patch upstream, but I would appreciate a second set of eyes taking a look at it before I do so :)
This is now upstream as $URL and will be in glibc-2.33. Can we please cherry-pick the patch to our patchset?

Should be in 2.32-r6. Thank you for follow-up!
