It is reproducible with a fresh-downloaded stage3 with the following:

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2017-03-14 18:02:56 UTC
looks like an install-xattr problem

what are your mounts exactly ?
Comment 2 Magnus Granberg gentoo-dev 2017-03-14 20:35:44 UTC
Ago can you post the trace that you did show me?
For it looks like some of the files you have is having a xattr and then install-xattr trying to copy it to image dir and fail for user.xdg.origin.url is not allowed in tmpfs. If you have /var/tmp/portage as tmpfs.

Yes, it is on tmpfs

I printed what is outside the chroot.

The issue happens only if $PORTAGE_TMPDIR is on tmpfs
Comment 5 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-03-16 20:41:38 UTC
asked from Zorry on irc:

(chroot) vh distfiles # getfattr ecj-4.5.jar 
# file: ecj-4.5.jar
user.xdg.origin.url

So, as a workaround, the failure does not happen if If I delete it via:
# setfattr --remove=user.xdg.origin.url ecj-4.5.jar
Comment 6 Magnus Granberg gentoo-dev 2017-03-24 20:43:00 UTC
This is not a gcc problem.
Something on youre end is adding user.xdm... to downloded files.
user.XXXXXX exept user.pax don't work on tmpfs and install-xattr just try to copy the xattr and fail for the tmpfs don't support it.

build logs of failed gcc emerge

I'm getting this as well, updating an existing install now that gcc 5.4 is stable. Also building on tmpfs. Comment 6 says that the problem is on my end; where? (GCJ is pulled in by app-text/pdftk-2.02.)
Comment 8 Fabian Henze 2017-04-20 10:40:06 UTC
Same here. Can this be worked around?
Comment 9 Erik Quaeghebeur 2017-04-21 06:25:39 UTC
Does portage's xattr use flag have anything to do with it?
Comment 10 Nikolay Kichukov 2017-04-21 10:36:20 UTC
This only happens if built on tmpfs as it does not support the xattr, even when the kernel is compiled with this support:

CONFIG_TMPFS=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_XATTR=y

A temporary workaround is to create environment definition for gcc or any other package which wants to make use of xattr to be compiled outside of the tmpfs mountpoint. ie:

>sys-devel/gcc-5.4 notmpfs.conf

The problem comes from line 10195 in the Makefile (/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-5.4.0-r3/work/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libjava/Makefile)

install-jarDATA: $(jar_DATA)
        @$(NORMAL_INSTALL)
        test -z "$(jardir)" || $(MKDIR_P) "$(DESTDIR)$(jardir)"
        @list='$(jar_DATA)'; test -n "$(jardir)" || list=; \
        for p in $$list; do \
          if test -f "$$p"; then d=; else d="$(srcdir)/"; fi; \
          echo "$$d$$p"; \
        done | $(am__base_list) | \
        while read files; do \
          echo " $(INSTALL_DATA) $$files '$(DESTDIR)$(jardir)'"; \
          $(INSTALL_DATA) $$files "$(DESTDIR)$(jardir)" || exit $$?; \
        done

the INSTALL_DATA is defined as: INSTALL_DATA = /usr/lib/portage/python2.7/ebuild-helpers/xattr/install -c -m 644


which tells the installer to use the xattr install(why not the doins?). This is wrong for tmpfs. What makes the decision which helper to use for install when creating the Makefile?

In my case the files in question have no extended attributes, ie:

/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-5.4.0-r3/image/usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/5.4.0/java $ getfattr libgcj-5.4.0.jar

returns nothing and of course this is correct as tmpfs does not support it!

Thank you,

emerging portage with -xattr and then emerging gcc indeed provides a workaround (I tested it).

Do ecj-4.5.jar have any extended attributes?

The distfile (not on tmpfs)

lsattr /usr/portage/distfiles/ecj-4.5.jar

Let's assume it's fixed given we have a commit into install-xattr and have no reports. gcj is also masked for removal in all toolchain.
