Source: gcc-4.5 Version: 4.5.4-1 Severity: important Tags: patch User: debian-al...@lists.debian.org Usertags: alpha X-Debbugs-CC: debian-al...@lists.debian.org Justification: Fails to build from source but built in the past.
gcc-4.5 FTBFS on alpha with GPREL16 relocation truncation errors in the link of cc1-dummy during stage 1 compilation. Full build log is at: http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=gcc-4.5&arch=alpha&ver=4.5.4-1&stamp=1341297050 The bug is a long standing bug in binutils that occassionally affects linking of very large packages. Unfortunately the use of gcc-4.6 tends to trigger it more often and it is now affecting the build of gcc-4.5. The known work around is to disable relaxation in the linker and the link will then complete successfully. I can manually inject -Wl,--no-relax into the link of cc1-dummy during the stage 1 compilation, rerun "debian/rules build", manually inject -Wl,--no-relax into the link of cc1, rerun "debian/rules build" again, and then the build completes successfully. (My attempts at producing a patch to debian/rules2 to automatically inject the -Wl,--no-relax option into the stage 1 compilation links failed so no patch attached here, sorry.) The old version of gcc-4.5 at debian-ports currently breaks installation of the Alpha port with debootstrap, so an upload of a fix would be very much appreciated, but we will understand if this is not possible because of the freeze. Cheers Michael. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-gcc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
