https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2020/07/04/gentoo-tinderbox/

Issue: media-sound/audacity-2.4.2-r2 fails to compile (lto).
Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: lto_tinderbox)

NOTE:
This machine uses lto with CFLAGS=-flto -Werror=odr -Werror=lto-type-mismatch -Werror=strict-aliasing

Error(s) that match a know pattern in addition to what has been reported in the summary:

Comment 3 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2022-07-26 09:02:47 UTC
Here is a bit of explanation:

-Werror=lto-type-mismatch:
User to find possible runtime issues in packages. It likely means the package is unsafe to build & use with LTO.
For projects using the same identifier but with different types across different files, they must be fixed to be consistent across the codebase.

-Werror=odr:
Used to find possible runtime issues in packages. These bugs are a problem anyway but may be even worse when combined with LTO. C++ code must comply with the One Definition Rule (ODR) - see https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/definition#One_Definition_Rule.

-Werror=strict-aliasing:
Used to find possible runtime issues in packages. These bugs are a problem anyway but may be even worse when combined with LTO.

Workarounds:
- If upstream is friendly and still active, file a bug upstream. For emulators, codecs, games, or multimedia packages, it may be worth just applying a workaround instead, as upstreams sometimes aren't receptive to these bugs (VALID FOR ALL).
- Use the new 'filter-lto' from flag-o-matic.eclass as it's likely to be unsafe with LTO (VALID FOR lto-type-mismatch - odr).
- Fix it yourself if interested, of course (VALID FOR ALL).
- Append-flags -fno-strict-aliasing (VALID FOR strict-aliasing).
- Use memcpy() but a union is sometimes suitable too (VALID FOR strict-aliasing).
- -fstrict-aliasing is implied by -O2, so this must be addressed in some form (VALID FOR strict-aliasing).

audacity-2.4.2-implicit-decl.patch

This is not an LTO-only problem.
The package also fails with -Werror=implicit-function-declaration,
so it will be an issue with future clang releases (bug 870412).

See the following snippet from line 1204 of the build log:

/var/tmp/portage/media-sound/audacity-2.4.2-r2/work/audacity-Audacity-2.4.2/lib-src/libnyquist/nyquist/xlisp/security.c: In function ‘find_full_path’:
/var/tmp/portage/media-sound/audacity-2.4.2-r2/work/audacity-Audacity-2.4.2/lib-src/libnyquist/nyquist/xlisp/security.c:89:10: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘getcwd’; did you mean ‘getw’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
   89 |     if (!getcwd(fullname, STRMAX)) {
      |          ^~~~~~
      |          getw

The attached patch fixes the issue by adding the missing #include statement.
(They didn't forget to include unistd.h, but the header with platform-specific
definitions, specifically UNIX, that controls the inclusion of the former.)

https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commit/15b9bb96cde815b849514edbeb9dfd789e67db71

This had been fixed in audacity 3.0.0, but there are other issues that were submitted as bug 915226.
