Description Stephen Gallagher 2019-07-17 14:28:09 UTC
Description of problem:
Attempting to build Node.js 12.5.0 or 12.6.0 on armv7hl fails with
"ld: final link failed: Memory exhausted"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nodejs-12.6.0-1.fc30

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into a 32-bit ARM system
2. Clone the Node.js sources (or use the ones from the master branch on src.fedoraproject.org)
3. Build the sources

Actual results:
Build fails with "ld: final link failed: Memory exhausted"

Expected results:
Successful build


Additional info:
It looks like memory really is being exhausted; monitoring memory usage on the system shows all of the physical memory being consumed. My working theory is that the linker is exceeding the 32-bit memory space.

Out of interest did this rebase to a new version of v8, or what ever JS engine they currently use? And if so what was the old/new versions?

Yes, 12.5.0 upgraded from 7.4.288.13 to 7.5.288.22

Comment 3 Dan Horák 2019-07-18 12:59:59 UTC
Stephen, have you tried the common tricks already?

- adding "-Wl,--no-keep-memory -Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads" to linker flags
- reducing debuginfo content - sed -e 's/-g/-g1/' (-g0 as last resort)
