Created attachment 507022 [details, diff] Add guard for xlocale.h to AsyncRPC.cpp. =sys-libs/glibc-2.26 dropped xlocale.h support. Boinc fails to compile without the attached patch. Note that the patch might not be 100% correct. I added a guard based on HAVE_XLOCALE_H - which seems has been adopted in the rest of the codebase - and kept the rest of #if in AND. I think the patch can be simplified to have the replacement guard read "#ifdef HAVE_XLOCALE_H".
The patch fixes the compilation ussues, but strangely I then get a segfault when running boinc... $ boinc 30-Nov-2017 16:47:40 [---] cc_config.xml not found - using defaults 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] Starting BOINC client version 7.8.1 for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] Libraries: libcurl/7.56.1 OpenSSL/1.0.2m zlib/1.2.11 libidn2/2.0.4 libssh2/1.8.0 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] Data directory: /home/zucca execv: No such file or directory 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] GPU detection failed. error code 512 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] No usable GPUs found 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 getaddrinfo(wren): Name or service not known30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] Host name: wren 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] Processor: 8 AuthenticAMD AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor [Family 21 Model 2 Stepping 0] 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] Processor features: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt pdpe1gb rdtscp lm constant_tsc rep_good nopl nonstop_tsc cpuid extd_apicid aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq monitor ssse3 fma cx16 sse4_1 sse4_2 popcnt aes xsave avx f16c lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw ibs xop skinit wdt lwp fma4 tce nodeid_msr tbm topoext perfctr_core perfctr_nb cpb hw_pstate vmmcall bmi1 arat npt lbrv svm_lock nrip_save tsc_scale vmcb_clean flushbyasid decodeassists pausefilter pfthreshold 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] OS: Linux Gentoo: Gentoo Base System release 2.4.1 [4.13.15-gentoo-wren] 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] Memory: 31.39 GB physical, 13.95 GB virtual 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] Disk: 1.05 TB total, 477.57 GB free 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] Local time is UTC +2 hours 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] No general preferences found - using defaults 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] Preferences: 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] max memory usage when active: 16070.65 MB 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] max memory usage when idle: 28927.17 MB 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] max disk usage: 561.96 GB 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] don't use GPU while active 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] suspend work if non-BOINC CPU load exceeds 25% 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] (to change preferences, visit a project web site or select Preferences in the Manager) 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] This computer is not attached to any projects 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 [---] Visit http://boinc.berkeley.edu for instructions 30-Nov-2017 16:47:59 Initialization completed SIGSEGV: segmentation violation Stack trace (11 frames): boinc[0x47f265] /lib64/libpthread.so.0(+0x14620)[0x7f89df824620] /lib64/libc.so.6(opendir+0x14)[0x7f89deb9f684] boinc[0x471c4e] boinc[0x472e6c] boinc[0x472d4a] boinc[0x419dd8] boinc[0x458d8a] boinc[0x45919b] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf1)[0x7f89deaf9041] boinc[0x407d6a] Exiting... ...

I just tested it on my machine (same command, empty boinc config as below) and here it works, maybe it's not related to this.
From https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.26#Removal_of_.27xlocale.h.27 > The nonstandard header xlocale.h has been removed in this release. It was > never intended to be included directly by programs other than glibc itself, > and it was a strict subset of the standard header locale.h. Nicely enough this means, that you can exchange "xlocale.h" for "locale.h", and it works. No matter the glibc version. So the appropriate patch would be to remove xlocale.h altogether and include locale.h instead. => I'll test that.
Created attachment 510856 [details, diff] Remove xlocale.h, it was never needed anyway First: Sorry for the long delay. I am working on fixing bug 640822 - which is rather urgent, and wanted to add the commit with the fix for this one to the PR for the other. But as it will need a while longer than expected, I'll upload the patch here for the time being. xlocale.h was never actually needed by anybody. It is just a subset of locale.h, and was never meant to be used directly. This patch removes its usage altogether, and boinc both merges and works fine after applying this patch.
