Bug 81063 – emerging e2fsprogs-1.36 check failed

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Chris 2005-02-06 20:01:03 UTC]

I tried emerging 1.35r-1 but I get error like in bug#80567
so I tried to merge 1.36

Not sure if I need this because I don't have a ext2 filesystem...

checking whether llseek is declared... yes
checking whether lseek64 is declared... yes
checking for short... yes
checking size of short... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (short), 77
See `config.log' for more details.

!!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/e2fsprogs-1.36/work/e2fsprogs-1.36/config.log

based on the error in your config.log you need to remove the USE=diet flag from 
your make.conf and or rebuild dietlibc with the hardened use flag and maybe ~arch it.

Also I notice you have USE=hardened set but your using a 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 kernel. 
I'm not sure if this kernel supports PaX ASLR or not. If it does not 
then outside of getting SSP in an obscure mannor then there is not really much 
point in using the hardened use flag. 

If you want to go the gentoo hardened route then I'd suggest you build with 
USE="-diet" emerge binutils glibc e2fsprogs 
Be sure that gcc passes all checks and you have no  __guard@GCC symbols on your system.

[Comment 3 solar (RETIRED) 2005-02-06 20:34:53 UTC]

And use hardened-dev-sources for your 2.6.x desires. 
hardened-dev-sources will become hardened-sources-2.6.x post 2005.0 

[Comment 4 Chris 2005-02-06 20:35:42 UTC]

added -diet use flags
