Bug 368517 – Can not upgade to glibc-2.12.2 from Hardened Stage 3 tar ball

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description darin hensley 2011-05-24 02:19:02 UTC]

Can not upgade to glibc-2.12.2. This is a new install and I am upgrading from the glibc that came with the Hardened Stage 3 tar ball. 

configure: error: forced unwind support is required
 * ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.12.2 failed (compile phase):
 *   failed to configure glibc 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install stage 3 tar ball
2.upgrade glibc
3.
Actual Results:  
configure: error: forced unwind support is required
 * ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.12.2 failed (compile phase):
 *   failed to configure glibc 

Expected Results:  
glibc-2.12.2 installed

Please see attachement for emege --info and emerge output for glbic.

This is on a i3 Intel mobile cpu using 64bit libraries(system). double checked to make sure softlinks were correct for libraries.

These kinds of errors I have only seen when trying to switch no-multilib -> multilib profiles.
Please check so that is not in fact what you are currently doing.

@xake, I'm pretty sure that's it, take a look at this:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.5/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc

@darin, can you tell use which stage3 you used --- particularly mutlilib vs no-multilib.  And also give us the output of eselect profile list.  Try switching to multilib and seeing if glibc then builds.

I am using stage3-amd64-hardened-20110428.tar.bz2. I can not submit the tar ball though....seems to big to be accepted.

Also wanted to state that Aleister said this isn't a multilib problem but a bug that Blue also hit.

[Comment 6 Xake 2011-06-02 07:29:18 UTC]

By the way, have you tried re-emerging gcc?

[Comment 7 Anthony Basile 2011-06-02 14:52:56 UTC]

I helped the reporter out in IRC.  gcc -print-multi-lib showed that he was working with a no-multilib system.  He's repeating his steps with stage3-amd64-hardened-20110526.tar.bz2 which I check and is showing correct multilib.

I'm going to close this for now.  Please feel free to reopen if the 20110526 tarball shows the same misbehavior.
