This is possibly an upstream problem (if a all). The recently-stabilized sys-libs/glibc-2.14.1-r3 seems not supply any xdr_/pmap_ symbols anymore. This causes troubles to 'genkernel initramfs' when going to build a static version of sys-apps/busybox, thereby possibly impairing kernel upgrades and normal distribution behaviour. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.upgrade to sys-libs/glibc-2.14.1-r3 2.clean cached packages from /var/cache/genkernel 3.configure genkernel to build busybox (BUSYBOX="yes" in /etc/genkernel.conf) 3.issue 'genkernel initramfs' Actual Results: xconnect.c:(.text.bb_lookup_port+0x41): warning: Using 'getservbyname' in statically linked applications requires at r untime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking util-linux/lib.a(mount.o): In function `xdr_fhstatus': mount.c:(.text.xdr_fhstatus+0xd): undefined reference to `xdr_u_int' mount.c:(.text.xdr_fhstatus+0x2e): undefined reference to `xdr_opaque' util-linux/lib.a(mount.o): In function `xdr_dirpath': mount.c:(.text.xdr_dirpath+0x6): undefined reference to `xdr_string' util-linux/lib.a(mount.o): In function `xdr_mountres3': mount.c:(.text.xdr_mountres3+0xd): undefined reference to `xdr_enum' mount.c:(.text.xdr_mountres3+0x2c): undefined reference to `xdr_bytes' mount.c:(.text.xdr_mountres3+0x46): undefined reference to `xdr_int' mount.c:(.text.xdr_mountres3+0x55): undefined reference to `xdr_array' util-linux/lib.a(mount.o): In function `nfsmount': mount.c:(.text.nfsmount+0x852): undefined reference to `pmap_getmaps' mount.c:(.text.nfsmount+0x987): undefined reference to `clntudp_create' mount.c:(.text.nfsmount+0x9c9): undefined reference to `clnttcp_create' mount.c:(.text.nfsmount+0x9f0): undefined reference to `clnt_spcreateerror' mount.c:(.text.nfsmount+0xa02): undefined reference to `authunix_create_default' mount.c:(.text.nfsmount+0xa9a): undefined reference to `clnt_sperror' mount.c:(.text.nfsmount+0xac1): undefined reference to `clnt_sperror' mount.c:(.text.nfsmount+0xc79): undefined reference to `bindresvport' mount.c:(.text.nfsmount+0xcc5): undefined reference to `pmap_getport' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [busybox_unstripped] Error 1 Expected Results: Success in busibox compilation.

Created attachment 309851 [details] Complete genkernel log The complete genkernel log from the failing system
use libtirpc, or disable userspace nfs support in busybox (not really necessary with recent kernels), or don't build statically
This happens using sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.20 from a stable box with stock busybox setup (no BUSYBOX_CONFIG="/path/to/file" defined in /etc/genkernel.conf). May this mean that a more recent, non-stable, genkernel version invokes busybox compilation with the right options? If this is the case, we should probably route this case to the genkernel team in order to stabilize that version. People running stable system can't successfully run genkernel otherwise.
(In reply to comment #3) i have no idea what genkernel does
I can confirm that this seems to be fixed in 3.4.30. Didn't have time to debug more though.
(In reply to comment #5) Unfortunately genkernel-3.4.30 likes sys-apps/openrc-0.9.9 which is not stable. I get the following on my stable system: xxx ~ # emerge -uDvpN world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

This problem has been fixed with v3.4.21.1 and later releases, see commit <http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/genkernel.git;a=commit;h=b977d66940fdbbe552bb735a54141b69da873b5b>. We could try get a more recent version marked stable. Any proposals for a version to pick?
What about sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.24 ? It is the latest version not enforcing sys-apps/openrc-0.9.9.
(In reply to comment #8) > What about sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.24 ? > > It is the latest version not enforcing sys-apps/openrc-0.9.9. Ive been running sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.24 on my amd64 stable keyworded system since this issue came up. Everything seems fine here so this would get my vote.
Lets move on with this. See (bug#415483)

I would try to remove the content of the /var/tmp/genkernel directory and then retry 'genkernel initramfs': I see one difference between mine and your config is that you don't set 'POSTCLEAR="1"'.
(In reply to comment #15) > I would try to remove the content of the /var/tmp/genkernel directory and > then retry 'genkernel initramfs': I see one difference between mine and your > config is that you don't set 'POSTCLEAR="1"'. Just did that, same results. Could it be because I'm using glibc 2.14.1-r3?
Oh hang on, this works fine on AMD64. I'm on x86 and the problem is happening there.
Alex, my example genkernel run is from an x86 with sys-libs/glibc-2.14.1-r3 too. Would you post the whole content of your /var/log/genkernel.log file as an attachment? Posting an 'emerge --info' output wouldn't hurt, too. And please don't panic! ;)
On my amd64 setup, it works fine with 3.4.24 including p1, where it had failed with the NFS error out-of-the-box with 3.4.20. I didn't take any measures to try and reproduce the original error, other than adding the NFS parts in the kernel that I had (for good measure) left out when I first encountered this issue. BTW, if this occurs/occurred on x86, perhaps this should be reflected in the bug attributes? AFAICT, it only mentions amd64.
You should *NOT* CC x86@gentoo.org
Nicolai, I encountered this problem in a x86_64 stable system first (see my attachment). However, the problem is due to glibc-2.14.1-r3 moving some rpc entries out of glibc, which is not related to a specific arch. Guido Jäkel fixed this creating a genkernel-3.4.24_p1 which disables NFS features from busybox as a quick workaround to allow stable systems to successfully run genkernel (see bug#415483). Then, your attempt to reproduce the problem adding NFS support to the kernel couldn't succeed, because it was not a kernel problem but a busybox one.

In that case, Bug 417167 is not a duplicate of this one (but perhaps of #4154834?); it refers merely to the issue of not being able to use genkernel in the stable system, which works now that 24_p1 is considered stable.
Bug#415483 is the stabilization request for genkernel-3.4.24_p1 stemming from this very same bug (see comment#10). So, no: Bug#417167 is correctly a duplicate of this bug to me. This bug IS about running genkernel on *stable* systems: unstable ones would use a more recent version (3.4.33.1?). See http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-kernel/genkernel . I think however all this discussion is quite irrilevant to this bug, Nicolai. Are you a lawyer? ;)
Bug#417167 is about the fact that at the time I encountered it, the version of genkernel that was considered stable (3.4.20) failed, on a fresh install, with no options changed, on amd64 (possibly on others too). Since then (possibly shortly before I reported the bug), a version of 3.4.24, which for me did not fail, was stabilized. Thus the bug that a fresh install would lead to a non-working default genkernel was fixed. This Bug,#413247, is still open. There are two possibilities: a) It really is a duplicate, in which case it should be resolved as fixed. b) It is not a duplicate (although it may be strongly related). No, I am not a lawyer, nor does the impression that I possibly care whether something is a duplicate or not make me one. Since I was one of those who were affected by this here bug, and a workaround (3.4.24_p1) was described, I just checked whether under conditions that are slightly closer to the ones I had when I originally encountered the bug, that the issue no longer occurs. I. e. I verified that it is fixed. If you just have two people, one seeing the problem go away, the other still having it, it may be valuable information when someone else uses the same workaround and the problem seems to go away. Now this here bug talks about 3.4.20 that shouldn't build busybox with NFS, which would have been one way to fix my original issue (fixing 3.4.20). My bug was fixed in a different way, though.
Nicolai, I see your point and I was inexact in my previous statement. The problem we experienced (genkernel failing in building busybox) was due to a change in glibc such that some xdr/pmap entries (mostly used by NFS tools) are not anymore available in libc. The earliest genkernel version reported to work with such libc was 3.4.21.1 (see comment#7) and we could stabilize that or a later version. Unfortunately, versions later than 3.4.24 did need (at least) sys-apps/openrc-0.9.9, which is unstable, so that my own impression about this was that 3.4.24 was the best candidate. So, getting 3.4.24 stable was the only action needed in order to overcame the issue. And I infact asked for that, when in the middle Guido Jäkel found that LUKS support would have been broken too that way (it was in 3.4.20, fwik - see bug#409277, comment 4) and proposed to patch 3.4.24 accordingly, thereby the 3.4.24_p1 case. Is this bug closed? Let's close it, then.

Created attachment 313001 [details] genkernel log as requested
It seems to me your genkernel is not using busybox-1.19.3 for its jobs, albeit your genkernel.conf states that. See these many lines in your log: .config:15:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol NITPICK .config:25:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol GETOPT_LONG .config:43:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol FEATURE_FULL_LIBBUSYBOX ... .config:675:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol ASH_READ_TIMEOUT .config:677:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol ASH_MATH_SUPPORT .config:678:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol ASH_MATH_SUPPORT_64 .config:694:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol LASH Alex, I would set 'CLEAR_CACHE_DIR="yes"' in your genkernel.conf and retry. Also, your 'emerge --info' data reports three different automake versions (1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1). While this may be, it may also spot a scarce use of the 'emerge -e system; emerge -e world; emerge --depclean; revdep-rebuild'. Your system is a bit, well, messy, with probably a lot of stale packages still in use.

My fix for this was incredibly simple; just edit busy-config so that it says 'n' to CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS instead of 'y'. This solves the problem for once and all, no need for patches or big rebuilds; esp. on a slow old laptop :-)
