Misconfiguration in Meson build

This at least affects libglvnd, libdrm and wayland.

When using abi_x86_32 for the above mentioned packages (and their dependencies, where necessary) on a 64 bit system, Meson seems to build the abi_x86_32.x86 portion of a package in 64 bit. This causes errors like this:

For libglvnd the abi_x86_32.x86 compilation fails during linking:

> ld.lld: error: /usr/lib/libX11.so is incompatible with elf64-x86-64
In this case the libX11.so is actually in the correct format (32 bit), but the objects it is attempted to link to are 64 bit.

For wayland we get a similar issue, this time with libffi.so. Again, the shared object is correctly a 32 bit object, but the build artifacts are 64bit.

> ld.lld: error: /usr/lib/libffi.so is incompatible with elf64-x86-64
For libdrm we get a different error, but I think this is caused by the same underlying issue. Here, compilation passes (because no external objects are linked I guess?), but the strict-multilib check fails, since the abi_x86_32.x86 build actually built (wrong) 64 bit libraries and is trying to put them into the (correct) 32bit directory:

> Files matching a file type that is not allowed:
>     usr/lib/libdrm.so.2.4.0
>     usr/lib/libdrm_radeon.so.1.0.1
>     usr/lib/libdrm_amdgpu.so.1.0.0
> Error: x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.114::gentoo failed:
>     multilib-strict check failed!

I'm on the experimental systemd/clang/merged-usr profile. I've played around with CC and friends for a gcc toolchain, but that has the same issue.

Stable and unstable versions of meson, pkgconf and the above mentioned libraries all yield the same errors.

I've attached a build log for libglvnd. I'm not too familiar with meson, but it looks strange to me that pkg-config is set to /usr/sbin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config in both cases. Also, the build.pkg_config_path doesn't point in to the build directory for the 32 bit build in the same way it does for the 64bit build. Somehow this misconfiguration leads to the missing -m32 flag.

It may also be relevant that CC doesn't actually affect the build. One has to change HOSTCC to actually change the compiler. This may be an unrelated issue with the clang profile or intended behavior though. Setting HOSTCC="clang -m32" makes the 32bit build pass, but the 64bit build fail.

This certainly isn't the case for me, so there's something more going on (obviously).

1. Please share emerge --info.
2. What are the differences between the ebuild in your attached build.log vs the one in gentoo? (It's from a local repository.)
3. If possible, please attempt to reproduce this in a clean stage3 via a chroot (just extract it to /tmp or something) and give a list of steps to do so.

This part in particular is suspicious and makes me think there's some other environment variables set that are interferring.

Comment 4 Aaron Siddhartha Mondal 2023-01-12 10:15:55 UTC
Previous comment has `emerge --info`.

The local is just an exact copy of the regular gentoo ebuild. The log for the regular build is the same.

A regular `echo $HOSTCC` returns `clang`, which I think is correct, as the only two packages on this system built with gcc are efivar, glibc and gcc (and maybe some that override CC and friends themselves). I ran an `emerge -ev @world` before adding the abi_x86_32 use flags to the packages and the entire system with ~650 packages built fine. Non-meson 32bit multilib packages also seemed to build fine.

It may be relevant that I used LLVM=1 to build the kernel. Maybe Meson or some tool dependency reads the kernel info somehow (similar to how Nvidia drivers do it) and can't deal with it being clang? But HOSTCC=gcc fails with essentially the same error. Meson just doesn't want to add that -m32.

I'm not sure, but if this was an issue with pkgconf itself, then CMake builds should fail too right? 

I'll need some time to get a stage3 chroot running. I can try with a regular profile and the clang profile. Maybe this an issue with the clang profile after all?

But it really seems like there is just one environment variable set wrong somewhere.
Comment 5 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-01-12 10:16:46 UTC
Note that HOSTCC shouldn't normally be set at all. Where's it coming from?

> Note that HOSTCC shouldn't normally be set at all. Where's it coming from?

This was the issue. HOSTCC was set in .bashrc. Removing it fixed the builds. I still think it is curious that only Meson seems to have issues with this, but I guess things are working as intended.

Thank you very much for your help!

Excellent, thanks for the update!
