Hi,

I'm sure this has to do with either the new profiles or now compilers, but somehow, I cannot compile anything.
Code:
gcc-config -l
 [1] i686-w64-mingw32-7.3.0 *
 [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-6.4.0
 [3] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-7.3.0 *
 [4] x86_64-w64-mingw32-6.3.0 *


Whichever compiler I select, I get the same error:
. /etc/profile
emerge -1 sys-devel/libtool
Code:

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

What is the correct way to get things working again?

Thanks

This is often an error in CFLAGS in make.conf, so much so that it has its own FAQ entry. Post your make.conf if you'd like help troubleshooting.

Edit: With ld segfaulting, this may not be as simple as that. Post your make.conf anyways, though.

Did it work before? What have you done in the meantime?

Progman3K,

It appears that your linker is broken.
Does
Code:
binutils-config -l
show more that one?
Try a different one.

If that fails too, try the gold linker.
The idea is to get you going enough to fix your system.
Beware the gold linker for long term use, as some things fail to link with it anyway.

Oddly, it still lists the cross-compiler linker I thought was removed when I unmerged the corresponding arm compiler...

Could that be the source of the problem?

[EDIT] Selecting #5 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.30) instead of #4 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.29.1) still gives an error, albeit a different one, so still no joy

Progman3K,

Did you do the gcc-4.x to 5.x migration as per the news item?
What about the /13.0/ to /17.0/ profile update along with gcc-6.x going stable?

I'm going to go ahead and say no, I probably didn't. According to my (vague) memories of updating the compiler, I believed (at the time) that the additional procedure was not mandatory.

I'll look in portage's log, to see what steps it recommended, unless someone has a link the appropriate article.

Thanks again

All measures recommended by the advisory bulletins fail, I fear I may have let things slip too long and now there is no easy way to correct the situation:

Emerging libtool fails, revdep-rebuild fails because of conflicts but even if it didn't I suspect it would fail during linking anyway.


I'm imagining some possible options:

- Install the gold linker and try to build a compiler-toolset. (Is that workable?)
- Extract a subset (compiler, linker, binutils) of a stage3 archive on top of the installation.

Unless there are better, simpler possibilities

Progman3K ... one option is to grab binpkg for the toolchain from a binhost and unpack these into /

Code:
# tar -xpf --xattrs-include='*.*' --numeric-owner binpkg.tbz2 -C /

... and then rebuild the toolchain, and whaterver else is required to get to 17.0

I executed the following command
(I manually deleted ld first to make sure the extraction would restore it. It did.)

Code:
tar --xattrs-include='*.*' --numeric-owner -xpf /binutils-2.30-r2.tbz2 -C /

After running memtest on the machine and detecting that one of the RAM modules had a stuck-bit, and replacing it, everything seemed to be dependable.

But after days of effort testing and re-installing everything, I got this message in dmesg:

So, is this another bad RAM module, or is there some other bit of hardware that can be causing this?

So, is this another bad RAM module, or is there some other bit of hardware that can be causing this?

Progman3K ... I don't think so, CONFIG_X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION is the cause but it doesn't necessarily mean that memory is corrupt, only that the code faults. Can we see what comes directly before the "WARNING"?

Hi Khayyam!

It happens within a few minutes from cold-boot, but there doesn't seem to be any preceding cause...

Here's the dmesg output:
https://pastebin.com/qKHVuAm2

EDIT: I've rebooted the machine 3 times now, and all 3 times, it issued the same error message about 62 seconds after the boot. I suspect this is the frequency at which the check is done (~60 seconds) and that once it detects a corruption, it does not warn anymore until you reboot. The first two times, I booted kernel 4.14.52, the third time, I booted kernel 4.14.61. All behave the same.

Khayyam & Yamakuzure,

Thanks, that clears up the question of where/why for the BIOS-memory message.

I guess the only question I have left is, do I mark this thread as resolved?
Is it reasonable to assume that the linker/other-files corruption and loss of the boot partition were all caused by a bad RAM module? I suppose only time will tell.

Well, your initial problem was: "Nothing builds" and that is resolved, right? So yes, I'd mark this thread as [resolved]. :-)
