Please try this patch against dietlibc-0.23.

Ooops, just saw that it compiles but its not working... 

# diet
Bus error

Regarding to some google search with your error message, it looks like its a problem with gnu assembler (`as`) and the "quad" datatype on sparc...

This shows the error pretty good:

# as test.S
test.S: Assembler messages:
test.S:1: Fatal error: test.S:1: bad return from bfd_install_relocation: 4

# cat test.S
        .quad .LC0
#

Someone with a great C++ knowledge should check gas/config/fc-sparc.c in binutils source tree...

From the dietlibc developer:

--------------------------------
Thus spake Sven Blumenstein (me@0x1337.net):

>> Could you please take a look at this bug report:
>> http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27171


This happens if you compile on an ultrasparc but your gcc is 32-bit.
The solution is to a) ship a sparc64 compiler and use that ("make
sparc64") or b) compile for the sparc32 target ("make sparc").


>> Do you know any solution for this error?
>> Is this a problem with dietlibc or, as I assume, a GNU Assembler bug?


This error means that the assembler source file tries to declare a 64
bit pointer variable but the 32-bit assembler does not have a data type
for them.

In playing around with dietlibc, it didn't seem to be easy to make it use
32 bit sparc instructions without thinking it was a cross compiler, so I
touched up the ebuilds so that on sparc64 machines, /bin/sparc32 would be
called before make and make install to simulate the sparc32 environment.

Let me know if this causes problems.
Comment 5 Jason Wever (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-06 07:57:43 UTC
Closing as it appears to be fine and no additional reports have come in.
