I don't know what happens here, but emerge -pv dev-lang/python tells me that =dev-lang/python-3.10.6_p2 compiled fine: 


emerge-armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabihf -pv dev-lang/python

working for 3.10 branch are:

dev-lang/python-3.10.6_p2
dev-lang/python-3.10.6_p3
dev-lang/python-3.10.6_p4
dev-lang/python-3.10.7

dev-lang/python-3.10.7 with this commit breaks it: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/29d2314810bd8e1de73df5c3ebe30c826281c253

I bet this is because I tested with sparc64 and not sparc (bitness).

    dev-lang/python: append ncurses include path after CBUILD Python is built
    
    We don't want to contaminate the mini CBUILD Python cross build
    with paths in SYSROOT.

I don't think the ncurses bit is sufficient, just a start. Can you share the config.logs?

config.log from cross compile attempt

this is the only config.log I was able to find inside of work, it does x86_64 things only I'm afraid
Comment 9 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-11-12 05:13:03 UTC
Would you mind giving me some crossdev commands from scratch to get to this?

I've tried and I really can't reproduce it yet even with the same tuple :(

output from emerge --info (amd64 host)

The host is amd64 on a multilib profile, maybe that contributes?

Mine is too. :(

Can you try give some instructions from scratch?
Comment 12 tt_1 2022-11-12 14:20:02 UTC
its nothing special really: 

crossdev -S armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --libc 2.35-r11

when done, adjust make.profile symlinks to use profiles/default/arm/17.0/armv7a/ 

edit make.conf, adjust ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to arm only, dropping ~arm

edit make.conf, add -su to global flags, and -rsync-verify ( the latter is too much hassle for no benefit, but you won't get there anyway ) 

add =sys-libs/glibc-2.35-r11 ~arm to package.accept_keywords of /usr/armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

and finally populate your userland with: emerge-armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabihf -auvND world - the process will stop with dev-lang/python and the error above.

compressed build log with gcc-11.3.0

initial bug was with gcc-10.4.0 toolchain, I recompiled it with more recent gcc, but same result
Comment 14 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-11-13 22:17:01 UTC
Thanks, reproduced. At first, I thought it was out-of-source build being a bit broken, but it happens when I copy S too.

We suspect https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/aebd8c41144bcb933a2d91fd15f0598d will fix this.

this looks good to me in terms of compiling, it works now on armv7a
Comment 17 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2022-12-06 22:26:42 UTC
I've merged the fix.
