#!/usr/bin/env bash # binutils: install into /usr/lib, not /usr/lib64. # # THIS IS THE ROOT OF A CHAIN, and the chain is worth writing down because # nothing in it looks related to anything else in it: # # 1. On s390x, GCC's and binutils' default MULTILIB_OSDIRNAME is lib64, so # binutils installs libiberty.a into /usr/lib64 -- creating that directory # as a REAL directory. On Arch, /usr/lib64 is a SYMLINK to lib. # 2. meson chooses its default libdir by looking at the system: 64-bit plus a # real /usr/lib64 means "lib64". A symlink does not count, which is why # Arch never sees this and arch-meson passes no --libdir at all. # 3. pkgconf is a meson package, so it installed into /usr/lib64 -- and # COMPILED IN its search path as /usr/lib64/pkgconfig. # 4. Every .pc file in the distribution is in /usr/lib/pkgconfig. So every # pkg-config lookup inside the chroot failed. libxslt reported it as # # configure: error: Package requirements (python-3.14) were not met: # Package 'python-3.14' not found # # with python 3.14.7 installed and /usr/lib/pkgconfig/python-3.14.pc # sitting right there. # # Step 4 reads as a missing dependency. Step 1 is a linker library nobody # thinks about. Fixing only the visible end -- pkgconf's search path -- would # leave the real /usr/lib64 there, and the next meson package would land in it. # # --libdir is set explicitly rather than left to the target default, which is # what Arch's layout means: one library directory, /usr/lib, with lib64 as a # compatibility symlink. set -euo pipefail python3 - <<'ZZPY' import io, re lines = io.open("PKGBUILD", encoding="utf-8").read().split("\n") hit = [i for i, l in enumerate(lines) if re.search(r"/configure\b", l) and "#" not in l.split("/configure")[0]] assert len(hit) == 1, "binutils: expected one configure call, got %d" % len(hit) i = hit[0] indent = re.match(r"^[ \t]*", lines[i]).group(0) assert lines[i].rstrip().endswith("\\"), "binutils: configure does not continue" lines.insert(i + 1, indent + " --libdir=/usr/lib \\") io.open("PKGBUILD", "w", encoding="utf-8").write("\n".join(lines)) ZZPY grep -A1 -E "/configure( |\\\\)" PKGBUILD | grep -q -- '--libdir=/usr/lib' || { echo "binutils: --libdir is not on the configure line" >&2; exit 1; } echo "binutils: libdir pinned to /usr/lib (keeps /usr/lib64 a symlink)" # --- no PGO+LTO build --------------------------------------------------------- # # binutils built at stage 1 and failed at stage 2, in gold: # # :(.text+0xc44e): undefined reference to # `void gold::gold_error_at_location<32, true>(...)' # collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status # # `` and the .ltrans object names are LTO's.
