Subject: gcc-4.7: Fails to build glibc (git master) [amd64]: '__EI___isnan' aliased to external symbol '__GI___isnan'

Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:16:08 -0700

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: gcc-4.7
Version: 4.7.1-1
Severity: normal

(See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14281 for past
history on my investigations on this issue.)

When I try to build glibc, the git master branch, on Debian sid amd64,
I get this error:

I tried building upstream GCC 4.7.1 with a configuration as close as
possible to Debian's:

../gcc-4.7.1/configure -v
--enable-languages=c,c++,go,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --prefix=/usr
--program-suffix=-4.7 --enable-shared --enable-linker-build-id
--with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext
--enable-threads=posix --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.7
--libdir=/usr/lib --enable-nls --with-sysroot=/ --enable-clocale=gnu
--enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-libstdcxx-time=yes
--enable-gnu-unique-object --enable-plugin --enable-objc-gc
--with-arch-32=i586 --with-tune=generic --enable-checking=release
--build=x86_64-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-linux-gnu
--target=x86_64-linux-gnu

(This was after doing "(cd /usr/lib; ln -sv x86_64-linux-gnu/*.o .)"
to work around upstream GCC not supporting multiarch.)  Once that was
done building, `pwd`/gcc/xgcc -B`pwd`/gcc -c /tmp/s_isnan.i -o
/tmp/s_isnan.o worked fine from the build directory, whereas gcc -c
/tmp/s_isnan.i -o /tmp/s_isnan.o reproduced the error.  So it looks
like this is most likely an issue introduced by one of the
Debian-specific patches.  (Also, it's a regression from Debian
gcc-4.6, which can compile the same preprocessed source without error.
 I've also verified gcc-4.6 can build all of glibc git master without
error.)

Attaching the preprocessed s_isnan.i file.

As mentioned in /usr/share/doc/gcc-4.7/README.Debian.<arch>.gz, gcc
4.7.1-1 had some later changes from the 4.7 branch applied, if I
remember correctly, which could account for the difference.

How does 4.7.1-2 do?

Curious,
Jonathan

s_isnan.i still fails to build with gcc-4.7 4.7.1-3.  I just tried
with gcc-snapshot 20120704-1, and it fails there too.

I've just tried this with glibc 2.16 and get the same problem.
Trying to build glibc2.15 with gcc 4.7 gave a very similar error (Same
'__EI___*' aliased to external symbol '__GI___*' with a different
variable name. 

Packaging from
svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-glibc/glibc-package/branches/eglibc-2.16/debian
libc sources from 
svn://svn.eglibc.org/branches/eglibc-2_16
(and the aarch64 patch from
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00007.html munged to
fit debian eglibc layout)

This is now a blocker for the arm64 port, which only has gcc4.7
available and we need a cross-compiler to get started.

Will investigate further.
