relative patch for clang i386

Description Andrew Aladjev 2020-09-18 14:28:27 UTC
Musl library uses the following mechanism to detect arch:

case "$target" in
i?86*) ARCH=i386

Musl uses same code across *86 targets, developers want just to call source code folders as "i386". "ARCH" from musl "config.mak" is not target architecture, this is just special name for internal usage. This variable was not designed to be used as architecture name.

# Fish out of config:
#   ARCH = ...
#   SUBARCH = ...
# and print $(ARCH)$(SUBARCH).
  local arch=$(awk '{ k[$1] = $3 } END { printf("%s%s", k["ARCH"], k["SUBARCH"]); }' config.mak)
  [[ -e "${D}"/lib/ld-musl-${arch}.so.1 ]] || die

It means that all *86 targets will have "ld-musl-i386.so.1" wrong ld name.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use i686-gentoo-linux-musl image and emerge gcc + clang.
2. Compile one line c file using gcc, it will be linked with "ld-musl-i386.so.1".
3. Compile one line c file using clang, it will be linked with "ld-musl-i686.so.1" and it won't work.

Workaround: add "ld-musl-i686.so.1" -> "ld-musl-i386.so.1" symlink after musl re-installation.

Personally I don't like symlink workarounds, than I am going to use patched clang for i686-gentoo-linux-musl image.
