Description Stuart Longland 2023-10-13 08:11:28 UTC
Attempting to build a pair of cross-toolchains, one AMD64, the other for legacy targets (I use i486 since that's the lowest CPU that will presently run Linux).

AMD64 toolchain command: crossdev -t x86_64-pc-linux-musl -s4 -S --env 'USE="-fortran -go"'
i486 toolchain command: crossdev -t i486-pc-linux-musl -s4 -S --env 'USE="-cet -fortran -go"'

crossdev and musl overlays present:
crossdev overlay at 90fdf132345ab998d10bdb6a69a0b983233b3403
musl overlay at 900360e8b41b144abb20c4767c8bb23e5edaa838

Variations: with and without -S, different values for --l, --g tried.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. layman -a musl && layman -a crossdev
2. crossdev -t x86_64-pc-linux-musl -s4 -S --env 'USE="-fortran -go"'
Actual Results:  
Gets as far as gcc-stage2, which then dies with:

checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.

Full logs to come.

Expected Results:  
Working toolchain for musl for 32-bit and 64-bit x86.

The plan is to bootstrap some seed stages for musl stage builds.

Comment 10 Stuart Longland 2023-10-14 00:10:18 UTC
I'm guessing I didn't put `lt_cv_shlibpath_overrides_runpath` in the right place?

Comment 17 Stuart Longland 2023-10-14 00:40:27 UTC
I am trying the following, might be an environment variable that needs to be "exported" rather than just tacked onto the end of the top-level configure.

crossdev -t x86_64-pc-linux-musl -s4 --env 'lt_cv_shlibpath_overrides_runpath=no USE="-fortran -go"' --l 1.2.4
crossdev -t i486-pc-linux-musl -s4 -S --env 'lt_cv_shlibpath_overrides_runpath=no USE="-cet -fortran -go"' --l 1.2.4

Builds have been running a little while now (which is par for the course, as the build host is about 13½ years old).
Comment 18 Stuart Longland 2023-10-14 01:13:01 UTC
Nope…

checking for shl_load... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.

heh, well, you set it in the right place (the env was an option, as that variable is a cache variable).

now it fails later in the configure script.

I suppose we'll need to solve the original libssp-related link error.  however, I could not reproduce it locally.  I'll try crossdev -t i486-pc-linux-musl -s4 -S --env 'USE="-cet -fortran -go"' again now
Comment 20 Stuart Longland 2023-10-16 06:01:00 UTC
Is there perhaps differences in the `libtool`/`autoconf`/`automake` parts of the GNU toolchain?

I just tried the very latest (`git` upstream) release of `crossdev` and today's Portage tree, and got the same results.
Comment 21 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2023-10-17 20:55:47 UTC
I don't have a handle on this, but FWIW, the x86_64 crossdev command worked just fine for me.
Comment 22 Stuart Longland 2023-10-22 06:34:16 UTC
I'll try with a different machine.  I just bought a new laptop recently… and have a fresh shiny new Gentoo install going on it.

Oookay then… indeed, some gremlin lurking on the old desktop.  I guess I need to audit the packages there and see what crusty old ring-in is causing the problem.
