I'm maintaining a system that still uses an old libc version not including
librt and libpthread.
Migrating to ptxdist 2025.05.0, I got an error while configuring
utils-linux 2.41.
meson says:
../util-linux-2.41/meson.build:1482:22: ERROR: Object
<[ExternalLibraryHolder] holds [ExternalLibrary]: <ExternalLibrary rt:
True>> of type ExternalLibrary does not support the `+` operator.
The bug is a missing + at line 1478 of meson.build.
A patch is attached.
The bug has been already found and corrected upstream. I expect it will be
fixed in version 2.42.
Best regards,
Ruggero
