Bug 340625 – sys-devel/binutils-2.20.1-r1 fails on mips with USE="vanilla" flag ?

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Andrew Randrianasulu 2010-10-12 05:14:22 UTC]

You can say i did it completely wrong, but after some partial upgrades, i decided to test "emerge system", and added USE="vanilla", without much thinking (it turned out this flag accepted not only by gcc, binutils, libtool - but also by bash, coreutils ...). After some 18h of compiling emerge bail out with error. Ld segfaulted in compiler test  in opcodes subdir. I have logs and will post them as attachments. But not sure if building (re-building, in my case) system with USE=vanilla is supported in any way, especially if mixed with ccache ? People with faster mips hardware  can test, if their system can build vanilla binutils package, and if this package fully-functional .... ? 

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to USE="vanilla" emerge system (not 'emerge -e system')


Actual Results:  
It will fail, probably, at binutils compilation.

Expected Results:  
Bail out, if  building unpatched  toolchain component(s) aren't supported on this platform.

list of packages i'm currently trying to emerge

As you can see, 'emerge -e system' adds few more updates (compared to just emerge system), some of them can be important for building binutils later. 


List was captured with 'emerge -pe system > system_list 2>&1' Note some packages  were compiled with "vanilla" USE flag during failed 'emerge system' run.

I'll update this bug when 1) emerge finished or 2) failed at some point

global USE=vanilla in make.conf is not supported.  you should be picking this only for packages where you actually understand the consequences.  sometimes we apply patches when USE=-vanilla that fix upstream problems.
