Looks like I cannot build glibc with dash as /bin/sh, reproduced on two boxes, after bumping /bin/sh symlink back to /bin/bash it does work.

### part of build log:

Can you attach the full build log, it includes quite some information at the start that can be useful. Did you also try other shells or does this only happen for dash?

Created attachment 329708 [details]
build.log of glibc with /bin/dash as /bin/sh

build.log attached.

I cannot reproduce it with ksh, mksh or busybox's ash (built without bash's extensions). Looks like it is dash specific issue but I do wonder if its just dash too sensitive or internal dash bug.

Comment 4 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2012-11-17 15:23:26 UTC

I've passed on to toolchain (glibc), if they determine this is due to dash they can re-assign to base-system (dash).

Comment 5 Piotr Karbowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2012-11-17 21:37:39 UTC

Looks like the latest version app-shells/dash-0.5.7.3 is badly broken as I am getting multiple build failures including php, and its 100% reproducable. 

@Tom Wijsman can you edit the bug as it is not about glibc but broken dash?

Comment 6 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2012-11-18 00:49:00 UTC

Changed title and re-assigned.

Can you attach build logs for one or two other failing packages so we can see if they are similar?

the "smallest" package you noticed a problem with would be best

Comment 9 SpanKY gentoo-dev

looks like dash-0.5.7.1 works, so i guess Debian added a bum patch in there

Comment 10 SpanKY gentoo-dev

2012-12-21 04:44:21 UTC

hmm, scratch that.  building with --disable-glob works OK.

that in turn seems like a bug in glibc's glob implementation.  it's not setting GLOB_MAGCHAR like the documentation says.

i've reported this to the bug-gnulib guys since that's where the implementation lives (gets synced to glibc from time to time).

Comment 11 SpanKY gentoo-dev

2012-12-21 04:47:18 UTC

i've added dash-0.5.7.3-r1 w/out --enable-glob in the mean time

it's not fixed ... the referenced testcase still fails

Comment 13 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2020-11-07 22:46:29 UTC

Closing as obsolete as gnulib's and glibc's implementations changed quite a bit. If it still happens I suggest filing a bug on glibc's bugzilla with a reproducer..
