Bug 282442 – cross-*/glibc-headers for any target on IA64 host fails at linker checking

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Justus Ranvier 2009-08-23 14:55:01 UTC]

I am trying to build cross compilers on an IA-64 machine for sparc, sparc64, x86_64 and i686. No matter which architecture is selected crossdev fails at the cross-glibc-headers stage with the same error:

checking for -z nodelete option... yes
checking for -z nodlopen option... yes
checking for -z initfirst option... yes
checking for -z relro option... no
configure: error: linker with -z relro support required

Logs are atttached

Reproducible: Always

the build logs are useless here.  you need to post the config.logs too.

and i'm guessing that the command in question actually works when you run it manually ?

gcc -v --help 2>&1 | grep 'z relro'

That command gives no output.

your host toolchain is screwed up then.  post the output of `gcc -v --help`.  relro support has been in the linker for a long time now.

oh right, your *build system* is an ia64 and that doesnt support relro

if you export libc_cv_z_relro=yes, that should get you rolling

hopefully it should be fixed now

I still get the same error.

works fine for me on ia64

I don't know what changed in the last few days but it is working now. Thank you for looking into it.
