Description of problem: Elfutils sets warnings as errors, and since gcc spots a warning about -fstack-protector on alpha, elfutils breaks in the buildsystem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 8.0.45 How reproducible: Try to rebuild elfutils with mock on alpha arch. I'm not sure how(/if) we can ifarch the -fstck-protector out on alpha architecture.
we can get rid in redhat-rpm-config of -fstck-protector on alpha rather than touch elfutils.
Jon. An idea of how we can mange this?
*knock* *knock*
Created attachment 157708 [details] dont use -fstack-protector on alpha, its unsupported.
Patch attached, problem still persist in F8.
OK.... A quick'n'dirty solution: * Make the package arch related, no longer use noarch * Then use patches for the different archs using %ifarch I like this solution as other arches (arm, ppc, sparc, parisc and whatever will come) can then also add their patches... Jon. Comment?
Hello Jon ! I dont know if others arches like e.g sparc has it or not, i can say on our alpha project that patch makes sense a lot and is properly tested out. I know is small patch but officialy gcc dont implement -fstack-protector on alpha right now. Me and my team (alphacore) struggled over the year on alpha only, now started these days on hppa too , i cannot comment over arches i dont know. Right now i struggle multilib compile gcc on hppa but soon i will submit small for rpm-config for hppa too since there is olso missusage of flags, but i want first order to make sure i did the right thing. As of sparc/sparc64 i dont know Tom can say more over it, but he sould submitt separate patch out of his auroralinux.org experience. Is it OK for alpha one for you ?
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Well. I want this fixed, but nobody answers this bug!!!
I'll look at it again.
We can't change this package from noarch for the time being, just for this one fix. Also, I don't like the patch posted because it sets global flags for all arches. Do you have a better suggestion for alpha? If not, I'll try something and send you a package to test.
Jon, I don't have any good suggestion on how to fix it. Of course we cannot change the global cflags for all archs, it was just a hint... If you have an idea, it's welcome. I think -fstack-protector isn't broken in later gcc versions, but nobody can be sure. :-)
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Still no ideas?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I honestly haven't had time to think about this in a while. I'd be willing to talk about it on IRC and figure something out before we go yet another release though - when are you online?
Jon, I'm usually online from 9:00 to 17:00 (GMT+1).

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
