I am want to compile linux 5.10.162 with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y, the end goal being to enable bpf CO-RE. However, the build is failing with:
+ ./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids vmlinux
FAILED unresolved symbol udp_sock
I first thought it was something similar to this issue, but after moving to a newer gcc, the issue persists.
Relevant packages:
gcc 11.1.0 (also tested with 10.2)
dwarves 1.24 (also tested with 1.22)
Bear in mind don't have much experience compiling linux. Let me know if the config will be of use.
I'm very new to Yesod and I'm having trouble building Yesod statically
so I can deploy to Heroku.
I have changed the default .cabal file to reflect static compilation
if flag(production)
cpp-options: -DPRODUCTION
ghc-options: -Wall -threaded -O2 -static -optl-static
else
ghc-options: -Wall -threaded -O0
And it no longer builds. I get a whole bunch of warnings and then a
slew of undefined references like this:

If I just compile with just -static and without -optl-static
everything builds fine but the application crashes when it tries to
start on Heroku.

It seems that the version of libc that I'm compiling against is
different. I tried also adding libc to the batch of libraries the
same way I did for libgmp but this results in a segmentation fault
when the application starts on the Heroku side.
Everything works fine on my PC. I'm running 64bit archlinux with ghc
7.0.3. The blog post on the official Yesod blog looked pretty easy
but I'm stumped at this point. Anyone have any ideas? If there's a way to get this thing working without building statically I'm open to that too.
EDIT
Per Employed Russians answer I did the following to fix this.
First created a new directory lib under the project directory and copied the missing shared libraries into it. You can get this information by running ldd path/to/executable and heroku run ldd path/to/executable and comparing the output.
I then did heroku config:add LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib so when the application is started the dynamic linker will look for libraries in the new lib directory.
Finally I created an ubuntu 11.10 virtual machine and built and deployed to Heroku from there, this has an old enough glibc that it works on the Heroku host.
Edit:
I've since written a tutorial on the Yesod wiki
I have no idea what Yesod is, but I know exactly what each of your other errors means.
First, you should not try to link statically. The warning you get is exactly right: if you link statically, and use one of the routines for which you are getting the warning, then you must arrange to run on a system with exactly the same version of libc.so.6 as the one you used at build time.
Contrary to popular belief, static linking produces less, not more, portable executables on Linux.
Your other (static) link errors are caused by missing libopenssl.a at link time.
But let's assume that you are going to go the "sane" route, and use dynamic linking.
For dynamic linking, Linux (and most other UNIXes) support backward compatibility: an old binary continues to work on newer systems. But they don't support forward compatibility (a binary built on a newer system will generally not run on an older one).
But that's what you are trying to do: you built on a system with glibc-2.14 (or newer), and you are running on a system with glibc-2.13 (or older).
The other thing you need to know is that glibc is composed of some 200+ binaries that must all match exactly. Two key binaries are /lib/ld-linux.so and /lib/libc.so.6 (but there are many more: libpthread.so.0, libnsl.so.1, etc. etc). If some of these binaries came from different versions of glibc, you usually get a crash. And that is exactly what you got, when you tried to place your glibc-2.14 libc.so.6 on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- it no longer matches the system /lib/ld-linux.
So what are the solutions? There are several possibilities (in increasing difficulty):
You could copy ld-2.14.so (the target of /lib/ld-linux symlink) to the target system, and invoke it explicitly:
/path/to/ld-2.14.so --library-path <whatever> /path/to/your/executable
This generally works, but can confuse an application that looks at argv[0], and breaks for applications that re-exec themselves.
You could build on an older system.
You could use appgcc (this option has disappeared, see this for description of what it used to be).
You could set up a chroot environment matching the target system, and build inside that chroot.
You could build yourself a Linux-to-olderLinux crosscompiler
You have several issues.
You should not build production binaries on bleeding edge distributions. The libraries on the production system will not be forward compatible.
You should not link glibc statically - it will always at runtime try to load additional libraries. For example cpu-based assembly. That is what your first warnings are about.
The last linker errors look like they are related to a missing openssl library on the command line.
But all in all - downgrade your distribution.
I had similar problems launching to Heroku (which uses glibc-2.11) where I had an application that required glibc-2.14, but I did not have access to the source and could not re-build it. I tried many things and nothing worked.
My workaround was to launch the service on Amazon Elastic Beanstalk and just provide an API interface.
I found the information provided useful as well, I think the various descriptions miss a critical issue I also ran into while forcing an updated version of Vagrant to start working again.
It's the dependency references internal to something like complicated installs, like Yesod to Heroku. Those interanl refences need to be preserved.
This is the script I wrote to make problems go away (at least, hopefully, for a little while):

done
The script should be pretty easy to understand, and adapt easily to whatever MacGuffin you want to make work, provied you understand it.
The only tricky part is the rpath you pass to patchelf. Upi need to make sure you preserve the search paths, and precedence your software requires. Or you end up fixing one problem only to create another equally frustrating roadblock.
P.S. Don't forget the update the hashes for any file you down. In particular, you need to compile/install a different version of GNU libc, you will need to update that hash to match the version you want to use.
I am trying to build kernel module rtl8192eu for Turris Omnia router using openwrt crosscompile toolchain. Everything looks fine except that the module cannot be inserted if I set EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_IOCTL_CFG80211. I need that option, otherwise I am not able to control the wifi dongle. But the module itself loads and recognizes the dongle without that flag enabled.
If the flag CONFIG_IOCTL_CFG80211 is enabled, insmod fails with
8192eu: Unknown symbol __ieee80211_get_channel (err 0)
8192eu: Unknown symbol cfg80211_connect_result
However as far as I can see, cfg80211 exports 'mirrored' symbols:
➜ cat /proc/kallsyms|grep -E 'ieee80211_get_channel|cfg80211_connect_result'
bf6bea08 T ieee80211_get_channel [cfg80211]
bf6e1010 t __cfg80211_connect_result [cfg80211]
Since the module compiles and works on my PC from the same sources without an issue and exported symbols on PC are matching to the above 'mirrored' ones, I guess I do compile the module for router incorrectly. Maybe some linkage issue?

(A complete log is available at https://gist.github.com/3cb5d044533e657f4add.)
After investigating gcc/Makefile, it seems that the BUILD_CPPLIB variable does not include $(LIBICONV), since it is in a stage1 bootstrap at the time of the error. The relevant section is preceded by
# For stage1 and when cross-compiling use the build libcpp which is
# built with NLS disabled. For stage2+ use the host library and
# its dependencies.
Yet clearly the stage1 build of build/genmatch is referencing libcpp, which uses symbols from libiconv. So something is amiss here.
How can I fix it?
General discussion
Building GCC on Mac OS X is an occasionally fraught process. I've had various issues with various versions of GCC and various versions of Mac OS X over the years. You can see an earlier explanation of what I did in Install GCC on Mac OS X — that was for building GCC 4.8.x on Mavericks 10.9.x (or possibly Mountain Lion 10.8.x); it also reports success building GCC 4.9.0 on Mavericks 10.9.x, but failure to do so on Yosemite 10.10.x.
This is an updated recipe for building GCC 5.2.0 on Mac OS X 10.11.1 El Capitan.
It starts off using XCode 7.1.1 — I don't know which other versions of XCode are OK.
Note that El Capitan has a feature SIP (System Integrity Protection) that was not in Yosemite and earlier versions. This means you cannot create arbitrary directories under /usr any more. I used to install in /usr/gcc/vX.Y.Z; that is no longer permitted in El Capitan. One major change, therefore, is that I now install in /opt/gcc/v.X.Y.Z.
I've found that having DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH set is problematic — especially on El Capitan. In a major break from the past, I'm now not setting that at all. Note that the scripts unset it. Note too that the script explicitly sets the phase 1 compilers CC and CXX to /usr/bin/clang and /usr/bin/clang++ respectively (the XCode compilers). The current versions of GCC require a capable C++ compiler instead of (or as well as) a C compiler.
I have occasionally had problems with libiconv, but at the moment I've evaded them by not having my own version installed. Similarly, I've occasionally had problems with some awk scripts in the GCC source. I had to hack it/them to get it to work OK. However, with release copy of GCC 5.2.0 source, I seem to be able to build directly out of the box.
If you've only got a single disk partition, this next point isn't crucial. If you have multiple disks, either make sure the target directory does not exist or ensure that its name is exactly what you want. On the machines at work (not Macs but Linux machines, etc), I still use /usr/gcc/vX.Y.Z as the 'official' install location, but the software ends up in some arbitrary file system where there's enough space, such as /work4/gcc, and eventually there is a symlink such that /usr/gcc/vX.Y.Z gets to /work4/gcc/vX.Y.Z. However, it is crucial that /work4/gcc/vX.Y.Z does not exist while GCC is being compiled because it will resolve the name via realpath() or its equivalent and embed /work4/gcc/vX.Y.Z into the binaries, rather than the neutral name /usr/gcc/vX.Y.Z. This limits the portability of the installation; any other machine that it is moved to has to have a directory /work4/gcc/vX.Y.Z, even though you asked to install it in /usr/gcc/vX.Y.Z.
Compiling GCC 5.2.0 on Mac OS X 10.11.1 with XCode 7.1.1
I had to work with down-versions of both GMP (5.1.3 instead of 6.0.0a) and ISL (0.14 instead of 0.15). The builds for the later versions both caused me trouble.
Note that I put the library code for GMP, MPC, MPFR, ISL and Cloog (see the GCC pre-requisites) in the GCC source directory so that GCC builds its own versions of these libraries. I've found that its the simplest way to ensure that GCC locates these libraries correctly.
Target directory: /opt/gcc/v5.2.0
Build time was about 2h 15m on a 17" MacBook Pro (early 2011) running Intel Core i7 at 2.3 GHz, with 16 GiB 1333 MHz DDR3 main memory, and a 750 GB 5400 rpm hard disk drive. The source occupies about 850 MiB; the build tree ends up at about 4.6 GiB — you need plenty of disk space. The installed code ends up at about 420 MiB.

First, see Jonathan Leffler's very complete answer. I have a few more suggestions here.
The gcc configuration and build process needs to find your system's native header files and C run-time libraries. Newer, clang-based versions of Xcode hide these pretty deeply, and older versions of gcc don't seem to know how to find them. To get gcc 4.6 to build at all, I had to create these symlinks:
ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include /usr
ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/lib/dylib1.10.5.o /usr/local/lib
ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/lib/crt1.10.5.o /usr/local/lib
ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/lib/bundle1.o /usr/local/lib
Your mileage will likely vary slightly: note that those pathnames underneath /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents have various version numbers baked in to them, which are likely to be different on your system.
(If, as Jonathan describes, the newest versions of MacOS don't allow you to put anything in /usr, you might have to create the /usr/include symlink in /usr/local/include, instead, and I suspect that would work, too.)
Also, this is mentioned elsewhere, but it's an unusual requirement, and easy to overlook: do not try to build gcc within its own source tree. Always create a build directory which is a parallel sibling, not a child underneath, of the directory into which you've extracted the gcc sources. That is, do not do this:
tar xzf gcc-x.y.z.tar.bz2
cd gcc-x.y.z # WRONG
mkdir build
cd build
../configure # WRONG
make
Instead, do this:
tar xzf gcc-x.y.z.tar.bz2
mkdir build
cd build
../gcc-x.y.z/configure
make
This is counterintuitive, I know, and it's not the way a lot of other packages work, but it definitely does work for gcc, and it's the recommended way to do it.
Another point: if you discover that your build is failing because you configured it improperly, such that you have to rerun configure with different options, it's safer to delete your entire build directory and start from scratch. The configure and build system sometimes, but it seems not 100% reliably, detects what might need rebuilding in that case. (Deleting and starting over is frustrating, I agree, but again, it can really save time in the long run.)
Finally, if you're trying to build a cross-compiler, see some additional suggestions and commentary at install gcc 4.6.1 on OS X 10.11 .
For what it's worth, MacPorts has ports for all recent versions that should be sufficiently easy for everyone (who knows how to code!) to read who doesn't want to install MacPorts but prefers to install the various dependencies mentioned here some other way.
A slightly tweaked personal version of the port for gcc 6.3.0:
https://github.com/RJVB/macstrop/blob/master/lang/gcc6/Portfile
The reason I mention that one (and post this answer) is that this tweaked version shows how to get G++ to use libc++ instead of libstdc++. That's a prerogative for being able to use G++ as a real replacement for clang++ that can be used without worrying about C++ runtime incompatibilities. This patch has allowed me to use g++ to build KDE (KF5) code and run it against Qt5 and the KF5 frameworks built with various clang compiler versions. (The patch files are in .../gcc6/files .)
Some explanation that might help interpreting the Tcl code of the linked file:
Ignore anything that's specific to $subport == "libgcc".
As you can see, you need gmp, mpc, mpfr and isl (the other dependencies should be of no interest if you're installing on your own).
The configure.args expressions construct the argument list to the configure script, configure.env and build.env add environmental variables for the configure and build (make) commands. Many of the configure options here are to ensure that the build uses dependencies from MacPorts but they'd probably be required too if you want or have to use a location not controlled by SIP and that isn't included in standard PATH definitions (the compiler still ought to work when invoked through a process that resets the path).
The configure and build are done in a build directory that sits next to the source directory, which makes it very easy to start over or just clean up without throwing away the sources.
After the configure step the build is done with "make bootstrap-lean" - which still creates about 1.7Gb of data in that build directory.
I have to cross compile opensawn for a OMAP4 Board and GMP is prerequisite. First I tried it on 64 bit OS but it gave me this error:
configure: error: Oops, mp_limb_t is 64 bits, but the assembler code in this configuration expects 32 bits.
Then I shifted to Ubuntu 12.04 32 Bit and the GMP V6.0.0 got compiled after few trials. Even after having the ARCH, TOOLCHAIN and CROSS_COMPILER variables in .bashrc I had to export the following:
export ARCH=arm<BR>
export PATH=/home/harsh32bit/Work/Projects/BSQ_VVDN/BISQUARE/gcc-SourceryCodeBenchLite-arm/bin/:$PATH<BR>
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-<BR>
Then following commands were observed:
./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/home/harsh32bit/Work/Projects/BSQ_VVDN/BISQUARE/gcc-SourceryCodeBenchLite-arm/
make clean
make
make install

I had the GMP compiled successfully although the make check reported all test failed.
9 of 9 tests failed.
Now when I try to cross compile Openswan-2.6.41 after making changes in CROSSCOMPILE.sh and do this make programs I get this error:
In file included from /home/harsh32bit/Work/Projects/BSQ_VVDN/packages/openswan-2.6.41/include/certs.h:24:0,from /home/harsh32bit/Work/Projects/BSQ_VVDN/packages/openswan-2.6.41/lib/libopenswan/id.c:42:
/home/harsh32bit/Work/Projects/BSQ_VVDN/packages/openswan-2.6.41/include/secrets.h:20:41: fatal error: gmp.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated
I have gone to TI E2E site for this, sniffed internet for pointers in last 4 weeks but I couldn't figure out. If anyone has any clue about cross compiling openswan and GMP for ARM please advise me.
So essentially
The static linkage of gmp files had to be done sans sudo - since when you call make programs from openswan package without sudo you are not root instead a normal user and if you use make programs with sudo it misses some exported variables particularly ARCH. It takes the default architecture instead of target architecture you want to compile for; like in my case it was for arm.
If you have to use the sudo, make it readable-writeable for all. That is after linking the library files in the toolchain you can call chmod 777 on that file - because then it will be available for rw for all user groups.
