binutils 2.24 error recipe for target 'do-check' failed

Naruni · 2014-09-22 17:50:44

edit:
Now I'm also getting the same error after wiping the build directory and trying makepkg without any modifications to the PKGBUILD

Added "--enable-targets=x86_64-pep" to the PKGBUILD file trying to build a xen kernel.

Confirming this error. It appeared during the last week, I builded properly binutils just 8 days ago: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1456792
I didn't bothered to make a Bug Report because I didn't had proper error logs. The issue seems to be related to --enable-gold. Try removing it, it should compile.

Well... the package from abs has this:

  # unset LDFLAGS as testsuite makes assumptions about which ones are active
  # do not abort on errors - manually check log files
  make LDFLAGS="" -k check || true

So it will not abort on make failures at all.

Edit: turns out the "|| true" got removed. I will push it back.

In case anyone still has issues, yesterday I tried building binutils and the issue is still there. The workaround is to remove --enable-gold from the PKGBUILD.

The solution is to add "|| true" after "make check" and manually check the errors.

Edit: and I checked the PKGBUILD in ABS is fixed, and has been for a while now...

Today I tried again to build binutils and it worked. No idea what happened last time, I deleted my previous build directory and made a new one using ABSROOT=. abs core/binutils, so unless it took the PKGBUILD from a cache or outdated repository I don't have idea why it happened.

Would there be any drawback or issue by adding enable-targets=x86_64-pep for the default binutils package? I think the only guys that need it are those that wants to build a Xen EFI executable for UEFI Boot, don't recall seeing anyone else after some googling. Absolutely no idea if there is a conflict with something else. It was requested previously at some point: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36713
Is not that hard to rebuild binutils for it (Specially when you wrote every required command in a TXT file, and memorized it after reinstalling around 10 times or so), but it would save us a step for this purpose.
