[Qemu-devel] problem building qemu-0.10.6 under SUSE-11.1 (was OK under SUSE-10.3)

[Sergei Steshenko]

Hello All,

I've been routinely building QEMU up to (inclusive) version 0.10.6 on my
SUSE-10.3 box - in the framework of my own AppsFromScratch.

Over the weekend I've upgraded to SUSE-11.1 and now the build fails with
these messages:

"
  LINK  sparc64-bsd-user/qemu-sparc64
/usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS): In function `__libc_csu_init':
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/glibc-2.9/csu/elf-init.c:82: undefined reference to `__init_array_end'
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS): relocation R_386_GOTOFF against undefined hidden symbol `__init_array_end' can not be used when making a shared object
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value

make[1]: *** [qemu-sparc64] Error 1

make: *** [subdir-sparc64-bsd-user] Error 2
".

If I understand correctly, the problem is somewhere between _system_ linker
and _system_ glibc - I think so because of all these:

/usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/glibc-2.9/csu/elf-init.c
/usr/bin/ld

- they are all system stuff _not_ touched/changed by my AppsFromScratch - 
the latter is _not_ run under 'root' privileges and changes nothing in
system areas.

Is my understanding correct ? If yes, how can the problem be fixed ?

Output of 'uname -a':

Linux amdam2 2.6.27.7-9-pae #1 SMP 2008-12-04 18:10:04 +0100 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
.

Thanks,
  Sergei.

P.S. Have just noticed the 'pae' in the kernel name - 10.3 -> 11.1 upgrade
caused it, I have only 2GB of RAM, so PAE is unnecessary. Probably has
nothing to do with the problem.

BSD user emulators are not supposed to work in Linux and vice versa.

1) then 'configure' should exclude "BSD user emulators" from Makefile in
the first place;

2) as I wrote, the whole thing used to compile under SUSE-10.3.

FWIW, qemu-0.11.0 build fails the same way.

And, whatever are the gory details, successful 'configure' followed by
failing 'make' is by definition a bug in build mechanism.
