Reproducable error with stage1 install and "groff"

djh-world

Hello there, over the past few days i've been attempting to succesfully complete a stage 1 installation, but failed because of one annoying error that will not go away. Upon starting the "emerge system" stage, I get this error when its compiling groff (i'm typing this using links, so excuse me for any errors in this post):-

Yeah sure, I just wish there was a copy + paste command in links

You reckon its because i'm using the "stage1-athlon-xp-2004.0-20040210.tar.bz2" stage tarball?

I'm having the same problem. Anyone have a solution?

I'm using stage1-pentium4-pie-ssp-2004.0.tar.bz2.

I had the same thing happen to me. I had to start bootstrapping over with different flags.

These are the flags I used that worked.

-pipe -O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -falign-functions=4 -fprefetch-loop-arrays"

me too

However.... I was dorking around trying to find a way around this, and something in the following sequences of steps I did seems to have gotten me past this point:

* unmerge hardened-gcc
* emerge hardened-gcc
* execute "hardened-gcc -A"

At this point, groff emerges successfully???

Finally figured it out, thanks for the help fynn. I was trying all kinds of different CXXFLAGS and getting nowhere.

It seems that the existing version 2.4.5 of hardened-gcc has a config file /etc/hcc.conf. When you 'emerge system' the first thing it does is update hardened-gcc, but due to the config file protection /etc/hcc.conf does not get overwritten with the newer version. So all that really needs done is to get hardened-gcc using the right config file.

yuppers. Thanks for answering this thread.

I'm bootstrapping from stage 1 following the instructions too, and hit the same thing.

etc-update (use the new one) followed by hardened-gcc -a and groff passed by just fine. Now I'm waiting for the next failure point

The solution:
mv /etc/._cfg0000_hcc.conf /etc/hcc.conf
hardened-gcc -a
it' ok also for me.

I've yesterday tried to install 2004.0 Stage1 and fails to 'emerge system' in GROFF compilation as described above.

This solution works and now I'm doing 'emerge system' without any problem.

Thanks

Doesn't work for me! I tried the fix:
mv /etc/._cfg0000_hcc.conf /etc/hcc.conf
hardened-gcc -a

then

emerge system

and ended up with this:

>>> emerge (1 of 61) sys-apps/groff-1.18.1-r4 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-)

groff-1.18.1.tar.gz

Finito! I have no idea what it is telling me. Any ideas?

Okay... I started a stage3 build the other day using the gentoo-2004.0 live basic. Everything worked fine.
Got everything up and running and then decided to do a emerge sync && emerge -u system. Worked just fine.
I then did a emerge apache and got a broken pipe error (sorry no logs).
I did an update of vim and same thing. I noticed that the error was coming from gcc. After a quick forum search I saw that someone had said it could be fixed with just an emerge of gcc. But it wouldn't even emerge that!
So I did a emerge --info and noticed that 2004.0 was using harden-gcc.
I did a quick forum search again and brought up this post. Boy did it save alot of headaches.
Thank you so much Yak!

Just as a side note though. I know the topic of this is an error with groff but as you can see from my post it actually applies to anything after a emerge system with hardened. Perhaps it could be retitled somehow to save some other newbie the headache that I had to go through?
