Description Sergey Gromov 2020-04-25 09:44:23 UTC

OpenRC fails to build with USE="static-libs -split-usr". It installs the shared libraries in /lib*, and the static libraries in /usr, which doesn’t pass lib_check because gen_usr_ldscript is a no-op with USE="-split-usr".

To fix, add SHLIBDIR=${UPREFIX}/${LIBNAME} to MAKE_ARGS.

Reproducible: Always

Imo the better fix is to drop the use of SHLIBDIR upstream and put
everything in LIBDIR.

The controversy I would run into here is it would break Gentoo users who
are using separate /usr with no initramfs because I would have to force
libdir to be in /usr.

Ideally, this is the patch I would apply to fix this issue.

The down side is, it would break any gentoo users who use separate /usr
without initramfs hard.

Due to a request from the gentoo QA team, I will be dropping the
static-libs use flag in the next release.
