Bug 435110 – sys-devel/binutils: ar mishandles 4GB files (causing net-libs/webkit-gtk build to fail with debug flags)

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description emil karlson 2012-09-15 11:07:48 UTC]

I get with any >=webkit-gtk-1.8.2 and CFLAGS="... -g -gdwarf-4" using gcc-4.7.

Builds fine without debug symbols.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge webkit-gtk with debug symbols on amd64.

[Comment 1 emil karlson 2012-09-15 11:56:04 UTC]

It seems though that our binutils already have the fix from url, no idea why this still happens.

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2012-09-16 05:11:54 UTC]

yes, 2.22.90 already contains the aforementioned fix.  plus, that bug should only be affecting 32bit platforms which amd64 is not (since size_t/etc... should already handle 4GB+ fine).

[Comment 3 emil karlson 2012-09-16 16:02:51 UTC]

So after a couple of builds, it seems to be the -gdwarf-4 that makes the difference, with just -g it builds fine.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2012-12-10 03:39:52 UTC]

looks like upstream is tracking this down now.  might want to give the referenced patch a test on your system.

Tested on binutils-2.23.1, did not help. Perhaps I should actively push this this to upstream myself, I guess not many people compile webkit-gtk with -gdwarf-4.

what about 2.23.51.0.8 ?  there's another truncate related fix in there ...

No luck with that one either.

i just built net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.8.3-r300 using binutils-2.24 and -gdwarf-4 on my amd64 system and it worked fine.  can you see if that version works for you ?

Still fails the same way on sys-devel/binutils-2.24-r1.
