Description Sheng Yu 2023-03-17 01:10:11 UTC 
I got a weird error that says makeinfo is null during glibc building:

MAKEINFO:   /dev/null

checking for makeinfo... /dev/null
checking version of /dev/null... v. ?.??, bad

This is a desktop mixed hardened, with some LLVM/Clang.
sys-libs/glibc-2.36-r5 works fine.

Reproducible: Always

That's not the actual error. This is:


checking linker support for INSERT in linker script... no
checking for broken __attribute__((alias()))... yes
configure: error: working alias attribute support required
 * ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.36-r7::gentoo failed (configure phase):
 *   failed to configure glibc
Comment 4 Sheng Yu 2023-03-17 01:23:48 UTC 
OK, my bad. I found what happened:

configure:5849: checking for broken __attribute__((alias()))
configure:5864: gcc -m32 -mfpmath=sse -mstackrealign -fPIC -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection=full -O2  -Werror -S conftest.c -o conftest.s 1>&5
<command-line>: error: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE" redefined [-Werror]
<built-in>: note: this is the location of the previous definition
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
configure:5867: $? = 1
configure:5877: result: yes
configure:5880: error: working alias attribute support required

>CFLAGS="-march=znver3 -O2 -pipe -fPIC -fstack-protector-strong -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"

You can drop -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE (and -fstack-protector*, -fPIC) from make.conf now, as we do it for clang as well via /etc/clang.

Then I run into #901363 lol. I cannot close this one.

All OK now?
