Can you give an exact example of a package that fails like this?   This seems to be in the realm of a partial update.

Edit: I can see this...

Also the new toolchain doesn't move the --enable-install-libiberty to binutils. Do you think it's worth to open a bug report? I installed the new staging toolchain. so far no issue.

It is as if every improvement people provided patches for was ignored...

Edit: I am told this was intended "just to get the update" and other things will be merged in the coming weeks.

Re: What is happening with glibc and gcc packages?

Hey people,
thank you for posting here. Your voice is heard and while compiling the toolchain this thread helped a lot!
I intentionally went for a fast release to have glibc 2.35 out rather soon than to make a lot of changes with the first release after months and a new maintainer.
I'm looking at the patches now and start running tests.

Turns out that if libx265 is compiled with latest binutils (as the variant in [testing] is), then this is "fixed".  Now to figure out why...

Brief summary glibc upstream expected CET to be left off as it was by default until kernel support was finalized.  Without kernel support it does not work,  with a kernel supporting the current proposed interface it will not work as expected and can produce segfaults.

obs-studio-git from AUR. I'm using the staging repo by the way.

EDIT: Manually rebuilding some packages from staging repo, made errors gone away.

Thanks a lot! FWIW I've installed the toolchain from testing and compiled a couple small packages (termite, yambar-git, personal PKGBUILDS) without any issues - so far everything's working smoothly here...

Re: What is happening with glibc and gcc packages?

Thanks to all for getting this into testing. If I install it however it doesn't quite work yet for my packages. Is there any way to trigger packages that need new glibc to reinstall or just be patient? I guess I could switch some distribution packages to -git versions and if they compile, great?

Edit: Got everything working, thanks all

"doesn't quite work" is the vaguest description of a problem...  That gives us nothing to go on to fix your issues.

Looks like the core glibc package was updated last night. Thanks to the maintainers
