Build error when CONFIG_USE_APK is enabled

For Developers
1

I seem to get a lot of linking errors when building package/system/apk. Does anyone know what's wrong with my setup? GCC version is gcc (SUSE Linux) 13.3.0

make dirclean doesn't work.

What version is that
lsb_release -a

3

openSUSE Leap 15.6

4

Same error with GCC14

GNU ld (GNU Binutils; SUSE Linux Enterprise 15) 2.43.1.20240828-150100.7.49

5

Default is gcc7 , can you build host compilers with system default compiler?

6

gcc7 has other errors related to c++ features, so I chose the newest available gcc version.

7

Tools/packages necessary for building GCC
ISO C++14 compiler Necessary to bootstrap GCC. GCC 5.4 or newer has sufficient support for used C++14 features.

8
9

make dirclean doesn't work either

10

it is make distclean
Start with default compiler, if that does not work make minimal upgrades, error looks like lto-nonlto mixup during build.

I nuked the config file and also enabled CONFIG_USE_LTO but still doesn't help

Setting b_lto to false solved it

13

Have not seen gcc7 any errors.

14

I doubt gcc-7 will see much (any?) testing with contemporary OpenWrt code.

LTO is used to reduce the binary size for apk considerably, so doing that is very much wanted for 8 MB flash devices, and semi-recent host compilers 'shouldn't' fall over this either…
/famous_last_words

15

It is about using host compiler used to build the build host kernel vs some latest version nobody else used, to built resonably recent openwrt cross-compiler.

16

GCC7 fix for patchelf was merged. I don't think it was ported to OpenWrt.

ccache requires GCC8.

17

what a weird error.

b_lto is mostly useful for target packages, not host. So a PR to move it is needed.

edit: can you try this patch?
