Description Jerry James 2015-02-22 04:27:17 UTC

Description of problem:
See my latest attempt to build why3:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=613997

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ocaml-4.02.1-1.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
Only tried once.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to build why3 in Rawhide
2.
3.

Actual results:
Linking  bin/why3.opt
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/ocaml/libasmrun.a(startup.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib64/ocaml/libasmrun.a: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
File "caml_startup", line 1:
Error: Error during linking
Makefile:451: recipe for target 'bin/why3.opt' failed
make: *** [bin/why3.opt] Error 2

Expected results:
Successful link.

Similar (but not exactly the same), getting kalzium FTBFS due to:

[ 50%] Generating modwrap.o
cd src && /usr/bin/ocamlopt -I /usr/lib64/ocaml/facile -c /builddir/build/BUILD/kalzium-14.12.2/src/solver/modwrap.c -o /builddir/build/BUILD/kalzium-14.12.2/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/src/modwrap.o

and subsequently trying to link it into an executable:

/bin/ld: modwrap.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
modwrap.o: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-06-16 12:56:59 UTC

This will be fixed in OCaml 4.02.2+rc1 which I'm going to
upload shortly-ish to Rawhide.
