• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description squishypandadev 2024-10-04 12:30:45 UTC]

The abi_x86_32 fails to build on a large 2TB XFS drive. Using a small tmpfs fixes this issue

append-lfs-flags should fix it

[Comment 6 Joonas Niilola 2024-10-09 13:39:55 UTC]

Could you try adding 

  append-lfs-flags

somewhere in 

multilib_src_configure() {
 ..
 ..
}

and test if it works? Remember to "git restore" your file if you edit it. (check "git status" if you edit the main ::gentoo repo). You can utilize an overlay, too.

No dice. I don't think it's the compiler. The error seems to be coming from nsinstall. Some kind of built-in tool that is not lfs aware?

Can confirm the same problem and workaround for me.

[Comment 12 Christopher May-Townsend 2025-03-07 16:08:49 UTC]

sorry, forgot to add for me it was with dev-libs/nss-3.109

lfs.patch

```
	XCFLAGS="${BUILD_CFLAGS}" \
```

It's possible we need to add it in there too.

Please try this modified ebuild.
