RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Nikita Popov 2023-05-23 10:43:26 UTC
Clang should use ld from the same gcc-toolset used for the --gcc-toolchain.

    echo "int main() {}" > test.c
    clang -### test.c

should print something like

    "/opt/rh/gcc-toolset-12/root/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/12/../../../../bin/ld" [...]

as the last command, rather than

    "/usr/bin/ld" [...]

Using the system ld causes "too many open files" and similar errors when using clang with LTO on projects with many objects.

Comment 1 Jesus Checa 2023-05-29 14:25:13 UTC
clang-16.0.1-3.el9 build made it through the gating. Tested that clang now uses the ld from gcc toolset as shown in the description:

* s390x:
[root@ibm-z-537 ~]# clang -### test.c |& grep bin/ld | awk '{print $1}'
"/opt/rh/gcc-toolset-12/root/usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/12/../../../../bin/ld"

* aarch64:
[root@ampere-mtsnow-altramax-01-vm-09 ~]# clang -### test.c |& grep bin/ld | awk '{print $1}'
"/opt/rh/gcc-toolset-12/root/usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-redhat-linux/12/../../../../bin/ld"

* ppc64le:
[root@ibm-p9z-26-lp14 ~]# clang -### test.c |& grep bin/ld | awk '{print $1}'
"/opt/rh/gcc-toolset-12/root/usr/lib/gcc/ppc64le-redhat-linux/12/../../../../bin/ld"

* x86_64:
[root@jchecahi-1mt-rhel-9 ~]# clang -### test.c |& grep bin/ld | awk '{print $1}'
"/opt/rh/gcc-toolset-12/root/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/12/../../../../bin/ld"

Setting Verified:Tested.
