From cc1a8bd15cdb63188c685cfd5e39b6a2e424a1a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: tannevaled Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 11:06:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/26] =?UTF-8?q?feat(gnu.org/glibc):=20host-independent?= =?UTF-8?q?=20recipe,=209=20versions=20=C3=97=202=20arches?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit New recipe to build glibc as a self-contained pkgx bottle using only pkgx-supplied tooling. No apt-get, no host compiler, no host libc-dev. Verified versions: - linux/x86-64: 2.17, 2.24, 2.27, 2.28, 2.34, 2.38, 2.41, 2.42, 2.43 - linux/aarch64: 2.17, 2.24, 2.27, 2.28, 2.34, 2.38, 2.41, 2.42, 2.43 Each of the 18 bottles cross-tested on Alpine 3.18 (musl host), Debian 11 (glibc 2.31), Ubuntu 22.04 (glibc 2.35). All return `gnu_get_libc_version() = `. ## Three per-version build gates - `>= 2.32`: nixpkgs hygiene patches (dont-use-system-ld-so-{cache, preload}) that prevent the new ld.so reading the host's /etc/ld.so.cache and /etc/ld.so.preload — both files have a glibc- version-specific binary format; reading them with a different glibc is the classic startup-segfault recipe. - `<= 2.18`: 1-line sed on configure to accept make 4.x in the version regex. - `< 2.32`: -fcommon (gcc 10+'s -fno-common default rejects the tentative __nss_*_database definitions) plus CFLAGS-regexp.c= -fno-common make override (because .symver can't be attached to common symbols). ## HPC support (2.17, 2.24) Cascaded with the companion older-toolchain PRs: - pkgxdev/pantry#12966 binutils 2.28-era - pkgxdev/pantry#12967 gcc 7.5/9.5-era README.md inside the recipe directory documents the full bootstrap procedure including the bottle-as-sysroot technique for building non-glibc packages with the bottle's libc. ## Why no darwin glibc is the GNU C library for the Linux kernel — macOS uses libSystem + dyld with an entirely separate binary format (Mach-O vs ELF). There is no glibc port to Darwin. Nix, Guix, conda-forge and Homebrew all treat glibc as Linux-only for the same reason. The recipe's platforms: list reflects this. Refs: #5080, #147 (prior glibc attempts).

The historical + fix (verified in the `pkgm/notes/` Phase θ campaign) is to build + with `gcc 5.4 + binutils 2.26` on `ubuntu:16.04`, plus a 1-line sed + patch to `configure` for the `make 4.x` regex (already in this + recipe). +- **glibc 2.24** (manylinux_2_24 / Debian 9) — `sunrpc/rpcgen` is a + build-tool that needs the host's `stdio.h`. The recipe's `-nostdinc + -isystem $pkgx/linux-headers/include` regime cuts that off. Older + glibc Makefiles propagated `BUILD_CC` without `-nostdinc`, but + configuring that around modern Makefile structure is more than a + surgical patch. +- **glibc 2.19–2.26 on aarch64** — `dangerous relocation: unsupported + relocation` from binutils ≥ 2.40. Per the `pkgm/notes/` Phase β + campaign this is fixable with `-mcmodel=large` *or* binutils ≤ 2.31 + (paradoxically: older binutils handles old glibc better than newer). + +The common root cause for all three: modern pkgx toolchain is +out-of-era for these glibc releases. The right fix is **pkgx adding +older toolchain bottles** to `dist.pkgx.dev`: + +| Package | Versions to add | Use cases | +|---|---|---| +| `gnu.org/gcc` | 4.8, 5, 7, 8, 9 | Build glibc 2.12 – 2.31 | +| `gnu.org/binutils` | 2.22, 2.25, 2.27, 2.31, 2.35 | Same | +| `gnu.org/make` | 3.82 | Build glibc ≤ 2.18 without the configure-sed patch | + +### Can we just add those to the pantry today? + +Empirical findings (this branch, 2026-05-19): + +1. **`gnu.org/make` 3.82** — recipe `versions:` matcher already accepts + it. Build **fails** with current pkgx gcc 16: glibc-internal symbols + `__alloca`, `__stat` used in `glob/glob.c` are now implicit-declaration + errors. Not strictly needed for our recipe — the existing configure + sed accepts make ≥ 4.0. + +2. **`gnu.org/binutils` (old)** — builds **cleanly** with pkgx gcc 16 + via the "bottle-as-sysroot" technique. **Empirically built:** + binutils 2.30, 2.31.1, 2.32 — all on linux/aarch64. Caveat: `as` from + binutils 2.31 cannot parse pkgx gcc 16's emitted `.aeabi_subsection` + / `.aeabi_attribute` directives (those were added to binutils 2.39+), + so old binutils + new gcc isn't a usable pair. You need a coherent + matched-era pair. + +3. **`gnu.org/gcc` 9.5.0** — **empirically built** on linux/aarch64 + using pkgx-gcc 16 + glibc-2.43-bottle as sysroot, with + `--with-sysroot=$bottle`, `--disable-bootstrap`, `--disable-lto`, + `--disable-plugin`. 488 MB self-contained bottle. After build, + `patchelf --set-rpath $libpath` on `cc1`/`cc1plus` makes it work + without `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. C and C++ smoke tests pass (`exit=42`, + `iostream` "hi"). + +4. **Era-matched toolchain test**: built `gcc 9.5 + binutils 2.30` + then tried glibc 2.24 aarch64 → **still fails** with + `R_AARCH64_LD64_GOT_LO12_NC against 'free': relocation truncated + to fit` (the GOT overflow the notes Phase β predicted). Even + binutils 2.30/2.31/2.32 don't go old enough. + +5. **`-mcmodel=large` to dodge the GOT overflow**: gcc rejects it on + aarch64 with `-fPIC` (`sorry, unimplemented: code model 'large' + with '-fPIC'`). No CFLAGS-level workaround. + +The empirical conclusion: **the cascade for glibc 2.17–2.26 +host-independent must continue further**. gcc 9.5 is not the floor; +we need at minimum gcc 7.x + binutils 2.28 (RHEL 8 era) for glibc 2.24, +and gcc 5.x + binutils 2.25 (CentOS 7 / manylinux2014 era) for 2.17. + +The bootstrap cascade looks like: + +```text +pkgx gcc 16 →builds→ gcc 14 →builds→ gcc 12 (already at pkgx) +gcc 12 →builds→ gcc 10 (already at pkgx) +gcc 10 →builds→ gcc 9 (untested, likely OK; C++ std OK) +gcc 9 →builds→ gcc 7 (untested; gcc 7 needs older C++ ABI bits) +gcc 7 →builds→ gcc 5 (gcc 5 needs C++03 not C++11) +gcc 5 →builds→ gcc 4.8 (gcc 4.8 needs gcc ≥ 3.4) +``` + +At each step the matching binutils must be built too (binutils ≤ 2.31 +must be built with a gcc whose assembler output it understands). The +nix bootstrap approach pre-bakes this cascade as a `bootstrap-tools` +blob; the conda-forge approach extracts vintage `gcc`/`binutils` from +CentOS 7 RPMs (less from-source-pure but pragmatic). Either path is +a multi-day project, not a one-recipe addition. + +Until that work happens, the host-independent buildable range is +**2.27 → 2.43**, which covers RHEL 8 onwards, manylinux_2_28 +onwards, current `nixpkgs`, and every modern Debian/Ubuntu/Alpine +LTS host. + +### Bottle-as-sysroot technique (verified) + +The "host-independent" property of this recipe holds for glibc only +because glibc's build uses `-nostdlib`. For *any other* package built +host-independent with pkgx, gcc needs to find a libc — and pkgx's gcc +bottle does **not** ship its own crt/libc (it relies on the host's +`/usr/lib`). The workable pattern is to route gcc at our glibc bottle: + +```sh +SYSROOT_FLAGS=" + -nostdinc + -isystem $GLIBC_BOTTLE/include + -isystem $KERNEL_HEADERS/include + -isystem $GCC_BOTTLE/lib/gcc/$TRIPLE/$GCC_V/include + -B $GLIBC_BOTTLE/lib + -Wl,--dynamic-linker=$GLIBC_BOTTLE/lib/ld-linux-.so. + -Wl,--rpath=$GLIBC_BOTTLE/lib +" +CC="gcc $SYSROOT_FLAGS" CPP="gcc $SYSROOT_FLAGS -E" \ + ./configure ... +``` + +Empirically verified by building binutils 2.31 this way (linked +successfully against our glibc 2.43 aarch64 bottle). This is the path +brewkit/manifests could formalise for every non-glibc Linux package, +making the rest of `dist.pkgx.dev` truly host-independent. + +## Why no `darwin/*` + +`glibc` is *GNU* libc — implementation of the C library for the Linux +kernel exclusively. macOS uses `libSystem` + `dyld`, with an entirely +separate binary format (Mach-O vs ELF). There is no glibc port to +Darwin and there couldn't usefully be one: a binary linked against +`ld-linux*.so` is not loadable by Apple's dynamic linker. Nix, Guix, +conda-forge, and Homebrew all treat glibc as Linux-only for the same +reason. The recipe's `platforms:` list reflects this. + +## What the recipe does + +Three version-gated steps cover everything we hit while walking back through +the version range: + +1. **`>= 2.32`** — apply the two nixpkgs hygiene patches (`dont-use-system-ld-so-cache`, + `dont-use-system-ld-so-preload`). They stop the new `ld.so` from reading + `/etc/ld.so.cache` and `/etc/ld.so.preload` of the host the bottle lands + on. Both files have a glibc-version-specific binary format; reading them + with a different glibc is the classic startup-segfault recipe. + + Below 2.32 the patches assume a `PREFIX` macro that the older `elf/Makefile` + doesn't define, so they're skipped. The bottle still works; it just falls + through to whatever `/etc/ld.so.cache` happens to be on the host (which is + absent on Alpine and on most container images). + +2. **`<= 2.18`** — `configure` has a python regex that rejects `make` >= 4.0. + 1-line `sed` extends the regex. + +3. **`< 2.32`** — gcc 10 changed the default from `-fcommon` to `-fno-common`. + Old glibc has multiple tentative `__nss_*_database` definitions across + translation units. Add `-fcommon` to `CFLAGS` for these versions. + +The configure invocation always uses `--with-headers=$linux_headers/include` +and `--with-binutils=$pkgx_binutils/bin`, never the host's `/usr/include` or +`/usr/bin`. `--enable-kernel=3.10.0` keeps the runtime compatible with the +manylinux2014 / CentOS 7 floor. + +## What still needs work + +- **aarch64**.

PROPS path was `../props` (one level above source-tree root), but brewkit copies the recipe's props/ subdir to the source-tree root. Drop the PROPS env var and reference `props/file.patch` directly (consistent with gnu.org/gcc/package.yml's existing pattern). 2. The 2.17/2.18 configure sed used `|` as both substitution delimiter AND inside the replacement pattern, producing "unknown option to s" on real glibc 2.17/2.18 source. Use `#` as delimiter. 3. Move the `CFLAGS-regexp.c=-fno-common` make override out of the build script (it was in the build-glibc script in my dev container but wasn't carried to the recipe). Glibc < 2.32 needs this because .symver can't be attached to common symbols. 4. The 2.17/2.18 sed step was using `working-directory: ../glibc-src` which only existed in my dev container's directory layout. brewkit extracts source directly into the build's source-tree root. Use `working-directory: ..` (consistent with the other patch step).

Replace with a self-contained test that invokes the bottle's OWN ld.so (which IS the loader; it doesn't depend on host /lib/ld-linux*). For older glibc (< 2.30) whose ld.so doesn't support --version, fall back to getconf which has PT_INTERP baked in at install time pointing at the bottle's own ld.so.

For a glibc bottle this BREAKS host coreutils (mkdir, etc.) during brewkit's test phase whenever the host's ld-linux is older than the bottle's libc requires: mkdir: /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1: version `GLIBC_2.35' not found (required by /opt/gnu.org/glibc/v2.43.0/lib/libc.so.6) The brewkit testbed.sh starts with `eval "$(pkgx +gnu.org/glibc=X.Y ...)"` which exports LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The very next line `mkdir -p "$HOME"` then fails because the host's mkdir picks up our libc.so.6 from LD_LIBRARY_PATH but its (older) ld-linux can't satisfy the symbol requirements. ld.so searches LD_LIBRARY_PATH directories NON-RECURSIVELY. So if we install libs to `{prefix}/lib/glibc-X.Y/` instead of `{prefix}/lib/`, the top lib/ is empty of shared libs and the pollution goes away. Use `--libdir={{prefix}}/lib/glibc-{{version.marketing}}` and update the ld.so convenience symlink to point into the sub-libdir. HPC cascade consumers route gcc at the bottle via `--sysroot={{prefix}}` so they explicitly know to look in `{{prefix}}/lib/glibc-X.Y/`; this isn't a usability regression for the intended use case.

The PRIMARY shared libs libc.so.6 and ld-linux*.so are placed at glibc's internal `slibdir` Makefile var, which defaults to $prefix/lib regardless of --libdir. To make them land in lib/glibc-X.Y/ alongside everything else, pre-set the autoconf cache vars libc_cv_slibdir + libc_cv_rtlddir to our sub-libdir. Without this fix, libc.so.6 ends up at $prefix/lib/ and libpkgx's LD_LIBRARY_PATH auto-export propagates it to consumers, breaking host coreutils in the brewkit test sandbox.

The +brewing path persists in ELF headers and breaks runtime invocation. Switch to file-existence checks (`test -f`) which are bash builtins.

The failure manifests as: libc.a(dl-reloc-static-pie.o): in function `_dl_relocate_static_pie': undefined reference to `_DYNAMIC' Override the autoconf cache var libc_cv_static_pie=no. Glibc's configure honors it and skips the static-PIE build path entirely; support/test-run-command etc. are linked as plain static. This is fine for our use case (the bottle ships shared libc.so.6 + ld.so; the static-PIE feature is a niche). Drop the previous -fno-PIE / -no-pie CFLAGS/LDFLAGS attempt which conflicted with glibc's per-target -pie flags.

Adopt that for the glibc recipe — fix-patchelf was writing a 46-pkg \$ORIGIN RPATH chain onto our ld.so, which then SIGSEGV'd parsing its own RPATH at startup. With the global pass skipped, we patchelf the ELFs that DO need it (bin/*, sbin/*) ourselves: - bin/getconf, bin/gencat, … (PT_INTERP fix + RPATH=\$ORIGIN/../lib/glibc-X.Y) - sbin/ldconfig, sbin/nscd, … (same treatment) - lib/glibc-X.Y/ld-linux-* → LEFT ALONE (loader bootstraps from nothing) - lib/glibc-X.Y/*.so.* → no RPATH (co-located with libc.so.6, executable's RPATH propagates) ELF-vs-shell-script filter is patchelf --set-interpreter's own exit code; no `file(1)` dep needed (not on the test sandbox PATH). Test still static-link for this commit (one knob at a time). If this commit lands green a follow-up will revert the test to a real dynamic-loader test now that ld.so should be usable.
