Description xantares09 2020-08-21 13:16:09 UTC

I have a problem compiling mesa using with binutils 2.35 in archlinux
for mingw i686 target with LLVM enabled + LTO:


if I disable LTO (meson -Db_lto=false) or use binutils 2.34 the problem goes away
if I use the x86_64 target the problem goes away
I tried today's binutils master: the bug is still there

I found a somewhat similar report at debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=965247


Here is the error:

Comment 1 xantares09 2020-08-24 15:30:12 UTC

bisecting leads to:

commit 0e6a3f07f50723d1831291492b96fdf74bcbdc11
Author: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Jul 22 03:49:07 2020 -0700

    ld: Properly override the IR definition
    
    We change the previous definition in the IR object to undefweak only
    after all LTO symbols have been read.

Comment 3 xantares09 2020-08-24 15:59:32 UTC

reverting this commit on current master fixes the issue (conflicts in changelogs only)

Comment 4 H.J. Lu 2020-08-24 16:25:04 UTC

I think this a latent problem that ld doesn't support some DWARF info generated
by LLVM.

Comment 5 xantares09 2020-08-24 16:33:59 UTC

can you elaborate when you mean generated ?

llvm is not running here, we just link against it (llvm is compiled with gcc)

Comment 6 H.J. Lu 2020-08-24 21:06:59 UTC

The relevant error message is

are defined in .gnu.linkonce.t sections and multiple definition should be
OK.  Why is it a problem?

Comment 7 xantares09 2020-08-25 07:01:57 UTC

I dont know. Maybe windows binary format dont support multiple definitions ?

I thought the most important part was:

ld: DWARF error: could not find variable specification at offset 377

Comment 8 Alan Modra 2024-02-21 22:06:26 UTC

I believe the DWARF parsing error has been fixed.
