Bug 458496 – sys-apps/util-linux-2.22.2 install fails to build libmount.so on uClibc systems w/out scanf(%ms) support

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Mark Reiche 2013-02-20 19:44:19 UTC]

tried to emerge util-linux-2.22.2 on x86 (uclibc); it failed in the install phase.

emerging 2.21.2 (current stable for x86) works w/o problem

Reproducible: Always

It's because uclibc currently does not support the a or m dynamic allocation modifier. There's a patch for uclibc that should do the trick....

The next set of stage3's that I'll push to the gentoo mirrors with experimental will have it.

(In reply to comment #3)
> I am unable to reproduce:

That's interesting. Here, the util-linux build failed because configure checked for the scanf allocation flag, which is apparently not yet supported in uclibc 0.9.33.2-r2.

What version of uclibc do you use?
Could you please add (or send me) your build log? (or even better the config.log?)

Is there an easy way to merge that into an existing installation?

note: this was fixed in uClibc by implementing the %ms format
