Bug 166676 – sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p4-r2: QA: TEXTREL, failing with FEATURES=stricter

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Jan Kundrát (RETIRED) 2007-02-13 15:25:23 UTC]

QA Notice: the following files contain runtime text relocations
 Text relocations require a lot of extra work to be preformed by the
 dynamic linker which will cause serious performance impact on IA-32
 and might not function properly on other architectures hppa for example.
 If you are a programmer please take a closer look at this package and
 consider writing a patch which addresses this problem.
TEXTREL usr/lib/libdb-4.2.so
TEXTREL usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.2.so

hmm; I don't get textrels here.  You could try upgrading gcc to 3.4.6.

Please attach the build log - if you don't have one, either set PORT_LOGDIR in /etc/make.conf to the name of a directory to capture the log and re-try the emerge, or do:

  emerge =sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p4-r2 2>&1 | tee emerge-db.log

Created attachment 110126 [details]
emerge log

New emerge --info after some updates. The build finishes but the QA notice is still here.

> checking if i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc PIC flag -fPIC works... no

That's odd.  Mine (from a couple of months ago; 17 Nov 2006) says:

> checking if i686-pc-linux-gnu-cc PIC flag -fPIC works... yes

and it puts '-fPIC -DPIC' on all the objects that go into the shared libraries.

Could you attach the config.log?  It should explain why it failed trying to use '-fPIC'.

A thought - I wonder if it's the deprecated '-mcpu=i686' (causing extra junk in the output of gcc, you can see it throughout the log and perhaps that's what tripped up the configure check) - you could try '-mtune=i686' instead, to get i386 code that's tuned for i686 (e.g. pipeline use, instruction ordering).  Note, if you want code that uses all the i686 instruction set, you want -march rather than -mtune.

You are right, changing to -march fixed the issue. Thanks for your help.
