This is caused because bash is unable to check if getenv is already defined when cross-compiling, so it defaults to 'yes': configure:14438: WARNING: cannot check getenv redefinition if cross compiling -- defaulting to yes We can avoid this redefinition by adding bash_cv_getenv_redef=no to the configure options. At the same time, we use configure options instead of environment variables because there is no need to pass those options to the configure script as environment variables. Doing it in this way we avoid the risk of environment variables leaking into places we don't expect.

Especially because I don't see the reason to do it. The environment variables will leak into exactly one place: the configure script. And that script will just export all assignments passed on the command line into its environment. So the effect is exactly the same. If you do make this change, then it should probably be done for all packages, which means it should probably be done in pkg-autotools.mk. So you have a concrete example of where the _ENV causes trouble? > > Related: > http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2012-03/msg00052.html > > Fixes: > http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/a20/a2007e6dbcfe53e7cd837ae642869ee26376826a/ > > Signed-off-by: Vicente Olivert Riera <Vincent.Riera@imgtec.com> > --- > package/bash/bash.mk | 5 ++++- > 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/package/bash/bash.mk b/package/bash/bash.mk > index 34a3a73..9a13f69 100644 > --- a/package/bash/bash.mk > +++ b/package/bash/bash.mk > @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ BASH_CONF_OPTS = --with-installed-readline > BASH_LICENSE = GPLv3+ > BASH_LICENSE_FILES = COPYING > > -BASH_CONF_ENV += \ > +BASH_CONF_OPTS += \ > ac_cv_rl_prefix="$(STAGING_DIR)" \ > ac_cv_rl_version="$(READLINE_VERSION)" \ > bash_cv_job_control_missing=present \ > @@ -28,6 +28,9 @@ BASH_MAKE = $(MAKE1) > # The static build needs some trickery > ifeq ($(BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB),y) > BASH_CONF_OPTS += --enable-static-link --without-bash-malloc > +ifeq ($(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_UCLIBC),y) > +BASH_CONF_OPTS += bash_cv_getenv_redef=no > +endif It's probably better to also set it to yes explicitly in the else branch.

No, I haven't. I just prefer using configure options rather than environment variables.

So, yes, it seems that musl is ok with the getenv redefinition. Perhaps it's a good idea to mention this analysis explicitly in comments. Something like: # bash wants to redefine the getenv() function. To check whether this is # possible, AC_TRY_RUN is used which is not possible in cross-compilation. # On uClibc, redefining getenv is not possible; on glibc and musl it is.
