Summary: elfutils on Blackfin doesn't build
Product: buildroot
Version: 2014.05
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P5
Component: Other
AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
ReportedBy: thomas.petazzoni at free-electrons.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Estimated Hours: 0.0

The elfutils package is currently disabled on Blackfin, due to an assembly symbol prefix issue. See
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/922/92291286e86f9ea943ae7aa58cbd884c8db0c5d2/build-end.log.
It would be good to fix this and re-enable the elfutils package on Blackfin.

--- Comment #2 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> 2014-05-20 12:11:07 UTC --- FWIW, in 2014.05, this bug was worked around by disabling the elfutils package
on Blackfin.

--- Comment #3 from Mike Frysinger <[email protected]> 2014-10-20 18:16:12 UTC --- there is no Blackfin backend in elfutils, so it isn't terribly useful ...

This seems a true statement:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/elfutils.git/tree/backends

So maybe it's better to reject this bug?

Thomas Petazzoni, since you opened the bug, what is your opinion?

         Resolution|                            |WONTFIX

--- Comment #5 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> 2014-10-20 21:06:14 UTC --- Agreed, if there's no support for Blackfin, then let's drop this bug. Since
there is a list of architectures supported by elfutils, it would be good to use
this list for the dependencies of the elfutils package, rather than just the
two exclusions we have today (avr32 and blackfin).

But that's a separate matter, so I'll close this bug as wontfix.

Thanks for the feedback Mike!

--- Comment #6 from Mike Frysinger <[email protected]> 2014-10-21 05:39:28 UTC --- elfutils also uses quite a bit of glibc-specific features, so it doesn't even compile for uClibc (the only C library Blackfin supports). maybe the dep tree can depend on that instead ?

--- Comment #7 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> 2014-10-21 07:05:54 UTC --- Well, it does build with uClibc apparently, maybe thanks to some of the patches
that we have in Buildroot against elfutils.
