Bug 927471 – dev-lang/rust: Building Anything Rust-based Fails to Compile Due to Missing -lgcc_s on musl/llvm profile

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jake Winters 2024-03-22 06:44:26 UTC]

Whenever I attempt to build anything Rust-based on my musl/llvm profile system, all packages fail with the error `unable to find library -lgcc_s`.

I have uploaded an example of this with the `app-emulation/virtiofsd-1.10.0` package at https://0x0.st/XrlP.log

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to build anything Rust-based on musl/llvm profile
2. Receive mentioned error
Actual Results:  
Received error `unable to find library -lgcc_s`.

Expected Results:  
Packages successfully build and install.

You should add ~amd64 to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS or add `dev-lang/rust -system-llvm` to `/etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask` because `USE=system-llvm` of dev-lang/rust is masked in profiles/base/package.use.stable.mask

dev-lang/rust should enable USE="system-llvm llvm-libunwind" on musl/llvm profile.

I have system-wide `~amd64` already. USE=llvm-libunwind is masked for me via `(-llvm-libunwind)` regardless of my custom USE flags.

No idea what to do with this bug, so giving it to llvm.

[Comment 5 Michał Górny 2024-03-24 15:35:38 UTC]

I have no clue whether Rust hardcodes -lgcc_s (should it absurdly RDEPEND on sys-devel/gcc then?) or if there's some way to make it use compiler-rt.

I should clarify that Rust itself does build and install, but any packages written in Rust or using cargo libraries do not. I cannot even install cargo again at this point as it fails with the same error.
