failing rpmbuild log

Description of problem:

I was able to rebuild the kernel src rpm on a x86_64 fedora 20 laptop to build a kernel rpm for armv7hl nas

This stopped working after the bump from gcc-4.8.3 to gcc-4.9

Version- Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cross-gcc-common-4.9.0-4.fc20.noarch
cross-binutils-common-2.24-5.fc20.noarch
gcc-arm-linux-gnu-4.9.0-4.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  rpmbuild --rebuild --with cross --target=armv7hl --without perf --without tools --without pae --without debug /home/ajayr/Downloads/srpm/kernel-3.15.6-200.fc20.src.rpm > ~/kbuild.log 2>&1

2.
3.

Actual results:
fails

Expected results:

set of kernel rpms

I've just pushed 4.9.1-1 to updates testing.  Can you try that when it appears?

Comment 4 Kyle McMartin 2014-08-11 16:30:35 UTC
are you sure you didn't build with --without debuginfo in the past? i think if you add that to rpmbuild, you should have a working build with 4.9.1

Comment 5 Kyle McMartin 2014-08-11 17:06:07 UTC
hrm, trying to reproduce for you now.

Comment 6 Kyle McMartin 2014-08-11 17:52:44 UTC
well, that's fun... it works on aarch64, but not armv7hl... looks like the kernel is failing to detect that -Wl,--build-id should work. sigh.

Comment 7 Kyle McMartin 2014-08-11 18:02:22 UTC
master@linux:.% arm-linux-gnu-gcc -Wl,--buildid -nostdlib -x c /dev/null -o foo                                                        (kyle@redacted:~/linux)
collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld'

hrm, ok, i'll debug why this has suddenly decided to fail.

Comment 8 Kyle McMartin 2014-08-11 21:58:10 UTC
you could also work around this by passing CFLAGS=-fuse-ld=bfd

i think i've found a handy workaround, although i'm not entirely sure why this only breaks on arm... it won't cause any issues on other platforms, so i'll run with it nonetheless.

I'm pretty confident the xcompilers in this scratch build will resolve your problem.

add --with-ld to hardcode linker path

fix.

Comment 11 Ajay Ramaswamy 2014-08-13 10:42:12 UTC
YES! It works

binutils-arm-linux-gnu-2.24-5.fc20.x86_64
cross-binutils-common-2.24-5.fc20.noarch
cross-gcc-common-4.9.1-1.1.fc22.noarch

Thank you
