Description Stefano 2003-01-14 13:30:49 UTC
When I try to compile packets, I sometimes get this error


/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: 


failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value


I didn't find a logical link between the cases it happened... Dunno if it's a 
GCC, distro or binutils problem.
Comment 1 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-14 13:39:10 UTC
seems the -fPIC flag does this

maybe we should add this into FAQ ?
Comment 2 Stefano 2003-01-14 14:11:10 UTC
I don't know that it means... 
Comment 3 Stefano 2003-01-14 15:38:04 UTC
It seems a problem of the gnu linker, maybe a bug of binutils?
Comment 4 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-14 15:39:58 UTC
could you list the packages with this error msg ?
Comment 5 Stefano 2003-01-15 07:00:48 UTC
i.e.


fam-oss


mozilla


I tried a lot of different CFLAGS less aggressive too, I reinstalled binutils, I 
tried to emerge again those packets, but nothing to do, always that error. I'm 
expecting some days, then I'll try with a stage2 installation :/
Comment 6 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-15 07:25:34 UTC
try in USE -pic and recompile
Comment 7 Stefano 2003-01-15 07:54:00 UTC
OK, I'm trying... if my hardware configuration can help


Athlon XP2000+


Mobo Biostar M7VIT chipset VIA KT400


256 DDR ram

Comment 9 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-15 08:10:33 UTC
do you use colorgcc ?

watch out #emerge -pu world --deep

try update everything related for compiling (all)
Comment 10 Stefano 2003-01-15 08:27:13 UTC
No one compiling-related packages to download :(

    recalculate dependancies, and complete the merge.

Comment 13 Garen 2003-01-15 16:25:46 UTC
I just compiled fam-oss just fine.  Does it still fail for you?

Try this and see if it still fails:
# export CFLAGS="-O"
# ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/fam-oss/fam-oss-2.6.9.ebuild compile

To reset your CFLAGS, just do a:
# source /etc/make.conf

If it doesn't fail with only -O, then try doing your original settings:
# ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/fam-oss/fam-oss-2.6.9.ebuild compile

To see if it is your CFLAGS.  If it is, it might be a compiler bug or just a 
latent bug in the code that a higher optimization level exposes.
Comment 14 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-18 05:42:42 UTC
stefano, is this still an issue for you?
Comment 15 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-19 18:36:32 UTC
Try to update binutils to 2.13.90.0.18 ?
Comment 16 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2003-10-01 20:58:58 UTC
This Bug hasn't seen updates in eons.  Marking as CANTFIX since the core
problem appears to have never been properly identified, or it was likely
something mysterious and maybe fixed in later versions of some packages.
 Re-open if this is not the case, but check to see if any new bugs fit better
before re-opening.
