Building my update today I came across the error of: lib/util-base64.c:24:3: error: initializer-string for array of 'unsigned char' truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks 'nonstring' attribute (66 chars into 65 available) [-Werror=unterminated-string- initialization] 24 | "./0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" This was VERY strange, so I had to run genkernel again and CTRL+Z at the correct moment - while building libxcrypt-4.4.36 (in the phase of Appending busybox cpio data ... ) To my wonder, the problematic source file had the following code: (multi-line, and not shown properly on GCC erro dump above) const unsigned char ascii64[65] = "./0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" /* 0000000000111111111122222222223333333333444444444455555555556666 */ /* 0123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123 */ "\x00"; So I checked what libxcrypt source is as of today, and indeed - the bogus "\x00" on the last line was deleted as of 2025-01-01: https://github.com/besser82/libxcrypt/commit/819352f1cac60b22286c05b8dcdd3f13d56d29d0 Can somebody upgrade the used libxcrypt to a newer revision to avoid this bug? I am not sure how to do a /etc/patches fix here, since the code is an embedded script, not a real package? The dependency starts with: * >> Appending busybox cpio data ... * Checking for binpkg(s) required for busybox-1.36.1 (L0) ... * > libxcrypt-4.4.36 has no dependencies. (L1) * > Binpkg '/var/cache/genkernel/4.3.16-4-g5e6e0b9-git/libxcrypt-4.4.36-x86_64.tar.xz' does NOT exist; Need to build libxcrypt-4.4.36 ... PS: there is no option to retain the gk build directories with broken sources? (I could use ctrl-z, edit/patch the issue, fg, but only on the second run), the files genkernel.log was referring to were already gone when it failed first time.
