Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] um/kconfig: introduce CC_CAN_LINK_STATIC_NO_RUNTIME_DEPS
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2020 21:11:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200715201159.54166-2-ignat@cloudflare.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200715201159.54166-1-ignat@cloudflare.com>

For statically linked UML build it is important to take into account the
standard C-library implementation. Some implementations, notably glibc have
caveats: even when linked statically, the final program might require some
runtime dependencies, if certain functions are used within the code.

Consider the following program:
int main(void)
{
	getpwent();
	return 0;
}

Compiling this program and linking statically with glibc produces the following
warning from the linker:
/usr/sbin/ld: /tmp/ccuthw1o.o: in function `main':
test.c:(.text+0x5): warning: Using 'getpwent' in statically linked
applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version
used for linking

We will use the flag to detect such C-library implementation build time and
possibly disable static linking for UML to avoid producing a binary with
unexpected behaviour and dependencies.
