[Buildroot] binutils ftbfs on x86_amd64 host

[Fathi Boudra]

Hi,

using latest buildroot to build an uClibc cross-compiler toolchain,
I have a ftbfs at binutils stage. Same results with 2.18 and 2.18.50.0.1.
My host is a Debian Sid amd64. Any ideas how to fix ?

cheers,

Fathi

What's your target? Maybe you can post your .config. I use an amd64 host
here building for armeb without issue.

I tried on i386 chroot, same failure.

Mine's armeb (xscale).

I guess it's not a host-specific problem then ;)

unfortunately, I tried on 3 different machines (Sid amd64):
- on 2 machines, I have binutils ftbfs
- on 3rd machine, another ftbfs:
libpthread/linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/errno-loc.c:23:27: error:
sysdep-cancel.h: No such file or directory

binutils 2.18 ftbfs is a known issue.
1) you must have texinfo installed
2) makeinfo parameters changed

 It's fixed in binutils snapshot.

btw, I can reproduce the 2nd ftbfs and is related to uClibc thread library
implementation:
libpthread/linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/errno-loc.c:23:27: error:
sysdep-cancel.h: No such file or directory

This is reproducible for powerpc target and NPTL support option.
Switching to another thread library implementation workarounds the issue.
