When I emerge =dev-libs/ffcall-2.4 on Unmatched with USE='test' enabled, it would fail indefinitely. Specifically, at libffcall-2.4/vacall make check, with the following message: > /usr/lib/gcc/riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu/11.3.0/../../../../riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: libvacall.a(vacall.o): relocation R_RISCV_HI20 against `vacall_function' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC > collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Make from source manually would end up with the same result.
Can you attach full build log and emerge --info for completeness?
To my knowledge, it seems that vacall only has non-PIC implementations for riscv systems precompiled and nowadays distributions have PIE/PIC enabled by default when possible, which leads to the test failure. Both patching riscv assembly source code or append -no-pie to Makefile could resolve this, but we might want the former solution as ebuild suggests that we want it to be position-independent.
