Bug 262593 – sys-libs/glibc 2.8_p20080602-r1 configure fails checking for linker with -z nodelete support

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description glen martin 2009-03-15 19:31:41 UTC]

emerge --update world, glibc fails emerge in initial checks.
> checking for -z nodelete option... configure: error: linker with -z nodelete support required

I verified (well, I checked man page) that ld supports -z nodelete.  I re-emerged binutils, sourced profile, tried again, didn't resolve.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge glibc
2.
3.

Upgrading gcc from gcc-3.4.6-r1 to gcc-3.4.6-r2 before upgrading glibc solved the issue. Emerge was attempting to do glibc before the gcc upgrade. 

I suspect that contemporary glibc ebuilds should have a dependency on >gcc-3.4.6-r1 so the emerge order might work by default.

Here's the original order that emerge tried:

<snip from original emerge>
# nice emerge --pretend --verbose --nospinner --update --deep world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

FWIW, I've masked later gcc versions since I've read that gcc 4.x uses a lot more memory and this is a tiny machine.

Use a modern version of gcc.  Older ones are merely around for convenience.  Also, we have a dependency on glibc for the minimal version of gcc that you should have, and differences between revisions shouldn't have fixed this problem for you unless something else was already broken.
