Bug 885835 – dev-libs/gmp-6.2.1-r5 - ar: error: script line 1: unknown command: OPEN

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: UNCONFIRMED ---

[Description topological-automata 2022-12-14 08:31:31 UTC]

I'm trying to build gmp with slibtool, but I get the this error:

attached to this thread are emerge --info, and /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/gmp-6.2.1/temp/build.log

p.s. I have many other with this error; what would be the best way to report them? a for loop and pybugz?

build.log

here is tail --lines 50 of build.log; the full build.log does not fit; if it's needed please let me know.

Can you get the full thing please (compress it with xz -9 or so)?

Replace MRI OPEN script with ar qL invocation

I looked into this issue and it doesn't seem to be related to slibtool or gmp, but to llvm-ar. It doesn't support scripts with OPEN [1].

[1] https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-ar.html#mri-scripts

This patch is unfortunately only usable for LLVM ar, as GNU ar and FreeBSD ar both seem to require OPEN + ADDLIB for this functionality. I'm leaving it here for the benefit of LLVM profile users like me, but making it conditional on ar supporting the L modifier is required before sending the patch upstream.
