Mysterious failures like this are often > caused by the system running out of resources. Usually memory or disk space. BOINC, not bionic :) BTW, sources are at https://github.com/BOINC/boinc . Lib is not big. Machine where I compiled it had 17GB of free HDD space and 64GB RAM. I also did not saw any "killed" errors caused by OOM from make when building. In the past I saw them on Odroid, so I am familiar with them. > Sadly that bit of code is very unhelpful: > > if (!bfd_final_link (link_info.output_bfd, &link_info)) > [cut] > So the linker is terminating, and hoping that an error message has already > been displayed. :-( Yes, definitely.

I will try to build new binutils on Linux and see what I will find there. In the meantime I found another thing. It turned out that configure script generates/modifies files which are then used during MinGW build. In fact I had to edit config.h to disable HAVE_STRCASESTR, but I assumed that someone else broke MinGW build and this was not fixed yet. These generated files came from some older BOINC version. When I cloned BOINC repo in new dir and started build there, I got working libs. Here are their sizes: [root@Wojslawice mingw64]# ls -lh /boinc2/820/mingw64/lib/ total 488K -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 413K Jan 12 23:46 libboinc.a -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 47K Jan 12 23:46 libboinc_api.a -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13K Jan 12 23:46 libboinc_graphics2.a -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6.9K Jan 12 23:46 libboinc_opencl.a And this is for broken build: [root@Wojslawice mingw64]# ls -lh /root/boinc82/mingw64/lib/ total 6.7M -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6.7M Jan 5 19:00 libboinc.a -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 47K Jan 5 19:00 libboinc_api.a -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13K Jan 5 19:00 libboinc_graphics2.a -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6.9K Jan 5 19:00 libboinc_opencl.a At this moment I do not know if bad code was created by gcc, as or ld - I am going to find this, and create small testcase so you would be able to reproduce this. I will either update this issue or log a new one for gcc. I am attaching broken libs to this issue, so you could check what exactly is wrong with them. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
