Bug 739062 – net-dns/bind-9.16.6: Build fails with //usr/lib/libdb-5.3.so: error adding symbols: file in wrong format

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Stefan Huber 2020-08-26 09:13:40 UTC]

Build of by now stable bind-9.16.6 fails with linker error:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/9.3.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: //usr/lib/libdb-5.3.so: error adding symbols: file in wrong format

The bug appears to be similar to bug #646380

I have tried to re-emerge sys-libs/db, which owns libdb-5.3.so, but it did not help. However, the problem rather seems to be that it should link againt /usr/lib64/libdb-5.3.so, as /usr/lib/libdb-5.3.so is an i386 binary.

Reproducible: Always

No luck in adding build.log due to Internal Server Error. When I receive response from webmaster, I will try again.

Had a quick look at this.

First tried to reproduce on my ~amd64 system by installing USE=abi_x86_32 sys-libs/db:5.3 then building bind with USE="berkdb caps dlz zlib", but that went fine. My build log is filled with -L/usr/lib64 while the above one has -L/usr/lib.

So I tried some other USEs and with USE="berkdb caps dlz ldap zlib", there it is, -L/usr/lib, and wrong format. Not that I looked into why it's happening with ldap but hopefully it's a start.

I can confirm that changing use flags from "dlz" to "dlz -ldap" solves the build issue for me.

[Comment 6 BobbyK 2020-09-04 14:25:21 UTC]

net-dns/bind-9.16.6::gentoo  USE="berkdb caps dlz ldap xml zlib"

merged without error here - though, as iamben noted, that may be because sys-libs/db has ABI_X86="64 -32 -x32" (i.e. there's no /usr/lib/libdb.so ...)
