Description Fedora Release Engineering 2019-08-01 14:46:48 UTC
micropython failed to build from source in Fedora rawhide/f31

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=36635537


For details on the mass rebuild see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_31_Mass_Rebuild
Please fix micropython at your earliest convenience and set the bug's status to
ASSIGNED when you start fixing it. If the bug remains in NEW state for 8 weeks,
micropython will be orphaned. Before branching of Fedora 32,
micropython will be retired, if it still fails to build.

Comment 5 Florian Weimer 2019-08-02 15:32:16 UTC
This is a binutils bug.  Short reproducer:

touch t.c
gcc -shared t.c
gcc -shared t.c -Wl,-Map=t.map
readelf -nW a.out

This prints:

Displaying notes found in: .note.gnu.property
  Owner                 Data size	Description
  GNU                  0x00000000	NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0	      Properties: <corrupt GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE, size = 0>

The workaround is to drop the -Wl,-Map= argument.

Comment 6 Florian Weimer 2019-08-02 16:51:11 UTC
Unfortunately, this is only the first bug, which I fixed in binutils-2.32-20.fc31 by backporting the upstream patch.

The next problem is that --gc-sections produces an unstrippable object.

Reproducer:

cat > t.c <<EOF
int main (void)
{
}
EOF
gcc -ffunction-sections t.c -Wl,--gc-sections
strip a.out

The reason is that --gc-sections reorders sections, so that the note ordering check in strip breaks.

I think this is a new problem.

Comment 7 Florian Weimer 2019-08-02 16:54:43 UTC
I filed this an upstream bug.  I think this has to wait until Nick returns.  In the meantime, you can remove the -Wl,--gc-sections or the strip as a workaround.

Comment 8 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-02 21:43:02 UTC
Thanks.

Comment 9 Nick Clifton 2019-08-05 16:45:42 UTC
Fixed in binutils-2.32-21.fc31

Comment 10 Miro Hrončok 2019-08-05 22:10:23 UTC
Thank you both, micropython built.

Comment 11 Ben Cotton 2019-08-13 17:12:49 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle.
Changing version to '31'.

Comment 12 Ben Cotton 2019-08-13 18:32:20 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle.
Changing version to 31.

Comment 13 Ben Cotton 2020-11-03 15:25:56 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 14 Petr Viktorin 2020-11-12 17:10:50 UTC
The update was released a while ago. Thank you!
