Re: What is happening with glibc and gcc packages?

Here is my bootstrap script.

if [[ -z "$repo" ]]; then
  echo "Usage: ./bootstrap <repo>"
  exit
fi

build() {
  pushd $1
  shift
  sudo makechrootpkg -r /var/lib/archbuild/${repo}-x86_64/ -- -i -r $@
  popd

Read the rest of that reply.  Other packages Arch rebuilds was covered under point #3.

Re: What is happening with glibc and gcc packages?

Allan pointed me to a set of patches that provided a fully working toolchain in December: https://pkgbuild.com/~alex19ep/patches/

I've uploaded the toolchain patches with those patches applied here along with a modified version of Allan's bootstrap script. He advised me not to apply the gcc PGO patch but I forgot to omit it while going through the motions.

The current status is that glibc fails on the second build pass due to a single failed test:

FAIL: nss/tst-nss-files-hosts-long

My system journal also gets spammed with error messages about core dumps but those seem to be expected. I haven't looked into it yet. My plan was to reproduce the working configuration from December as a starting point for further updates, but it may be better to just skip directly to the latest releases.

Building the toolchain is new to me but I'm hoping that it can be a collaborative effort and learning experience. Feel free to fork the repo or request access. I'll post updates here if I make any progress but I have some other pressing tasks right now so I'm not sure when that will be.

Yep. I also have Unbound running. Looks like I'll have to jump to 2.35: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git … 34a8767581
If I have time I'll play with it some more today.

Re: What is happening with glibc and gcc packages?

Preserving the environment for sudo makes sense to me by why did you disable the integrity checks? There's a script to import the required PGP keys to the build user's toolchain if necessary and the checksums should remain valid in the VM.

The skipping checks is not going to land on production repo. This is just to easy the process to find errors and fixes.

Re: What is happening with glibc and gcc packages?

I am currently stuck at at a weird issue.

As I memtion earlier, binutils completes without issue. But gcc won't run anymore due to missing symbol in libctf.so.0 (in binutils package). The missing symbol is "sha1_finish_ctx".

I checked the libctf.so.0 using "readelf -Ws". The libctf binary produced from the 1st pass do not have this symbol at all. It was introduced somehow during the 2nd pass.

The sha1_finish_ctx is a function defined in libiberty/sha1.c.

I compare the configure options between the old PKGCONFIG and the new one from Xyne. I saw "--enable-install-libiberty" was introduced in the new PKGCONFIG.

I tried to remove this options on the 2nd pass but didn't seem to fix the issue.

Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions?

I googled around, almost no search result regarding to missing sha1_finish_ctx.

Re: What is happening with glibc and gcc packages?

libiberty moved from gcc to binutils with these PKGBUILDs.  This sounds like you installed the binutils libiberty, then overwrote it with the old one from gcc.   (I know the error is in libctf, but this is the cause).

Edit - or just build binutils against the current gcc without libiberty.

Re: What is happening with glibc and gcc packages?

There's a function in the bootstrap script that removes the conflicting libiberty files just before the first installation of binutils. It also removes those files from gcc's filelist in the pacman local db. I wrote it quickly and used the list of conflicting files as the basis for what to remove. There may be mistakes in it.

@johnyan
I plan to create a new branch with your patches and test it when I have some time today. Do you have a fork online already that I could track?

I've also started a local WIP branch that uses Allan's latest packages as a starting point for re-introducing multilib support. I haven't had time to finish and test it yet but I'll upload it as soon as I do.

Re: What is happening with glibc and gcc packages?

Hey Allan and Xyne, thanks for the suggestion. Forgive me not knowing how to fork Xyne's repo on gitlab. I pushed my current WIP repo on github instead: https://github.com/john-yan/arch-linux-toolchain

Instead of fixing the libiberty issue, I tried to remove Xyne's fix (move --enable-install-libiberty back to gcc) and it seems NOT working. (run manually, don't use the bootstrap script)

Re: What is happening with glibc and gcc packages?

https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/a … 30729.html

Hi All,

Most of you are aware that our toolchain is currently outdated. We always had very few people
working on it through the years and I took over once Barth left, because it was needed.

However, I have been having very little time to work on Arch related stuff lately and the
toolchain is the most noticeable victim, given it is one of the most time consuming.
In this meantime, a few things also happened that compounded to the issue, among them, we enabled LTO.

Right now I'm working on bringing new glibc 2.35 and also waiting on binutils release so we
can bring the toolchain up to date. I'm aware we also have a GCC release coming out soon, and
the toolchain will need a new rebuild then.

For the future, we are trying to bring more people to work with the whole toolchain, so it is
not too much of a bus factor. We should have at least two toolchain maintainers, not just one.

I hope this serves to assuage the concerns over the current status of our toolchain, both present
and going future.

Regards,
Giancarlo Razzolini

Re: What is happening with glibc and gcc packages?

My current issue is that the libiberty.a compiled in binutils does not have the symbols we need. Here's the readelf output of the new vs old libiberty.so

[root@john lib]# readelf -a ./libiberty.a | grep sha1

But gcc won't run anymore due to missing symbol in libctf.so.0 (in binutils package). The missing symbol is "sha1_finish_ctx".

I'm not up-to-speed (yet) but your issue could be related to an earlier problem [1] we hit whereby libctf was linking against the wrong libiberty (but I could easily be wrong here and your issue might have a different cause). I'm pretty sure the fix didn't make it into binutils-2.37 but it should be in the soon-to-be-released 2.38.

just quick note: I did install manjaro on son laptop some weeks ago and of course, doing updates. there is also glibc 2.33-5. But I dont know more details, son is just using it ;-)

I have seen the update pass by. I went to see exactly what was changed in the commits. Nothing! It got recompiled only because a new python version has been released. AFAIK, a few python scripts are executed as part of the build process but the python version used to build will have no effect at all on the resulting binaries... If I am correct, updating a core package for no good reason represents a waste of bandwidth considering the number of downloads this will trigger.

A few posts ago, Allan did propose a few explanations about why the package is not updated. My take is simply that somehow a newbie got the job and he simply does not understand everything that he should know to occupy this role. I am all for giving a young dev a chance to demonstrate what he is capable of but if that is the case, he should receive actively some mentoring so that he can learn and be able to do the job...
