Created attachment 760162 [details] Compressed build log of spidermonkey-78.15.0 Hello everybody, I found this error while rebuilding Spidermonkey 78.15.0 during a routine upgrade. on POWERPC64 (Little Endian). The build gets off to a good start but then hits "collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status" and halts. I'm attaching the full build.log file. Thank you very much, Peter.
as discussed on IRC, user-set flags most likely a problem rebuild with __COMMON_FLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=power9 -pipe" CFLAGS="${__COMMON_FLAGS}" CXXFLAGS="${__COMMON_FLAGS}" and if it still fails - reopen the bug.
Whew! Thank you so much! It's fixed! Lesson learned! I'm making a note to myself to never try to apply strange compiler flags, no matter how cool they look if I don't know exactly what they'll do or what kind of hell they will play with the rest of the system. Thank you guys so much, I could have just made a terrible mistake.
