got the same error :

checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... gcc
checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile
See `config.log' for more details.

!!! ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040529 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 567, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message)

I installed from livecd 2004/1 for amd64, stage 3, booted ok, emerge sync, emerge -u world .. BANG !

make.conf :
less /etc/make.conf
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built
this stage
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
CFLAGS="-O2"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
USE="-x11 -gtk -gnome -qt -kde -dvd -alsa -cdr"

not much, as you can see.

any ideea ?

Are you using gcc 3.3 or 3.4,

Seems to be a bug for this, perhaps that will be of some help: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52985

gcc-config -c
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.3

seems so, any idea on how could I fix it, though ?

richone · n00b Joined: 19 Jun 2003 Posts: 38

Try compiling with gcc 3.3

tehnomage · n00b Joined: 04 Jun 2004 Posts: 10

I only have this, and I think it is the default. anyway I selected it specifically, and it still crashes.

what if I emerge glibc-2.3.4.20040602 ? what can go wrong ?

I am having the exact same problem.

Using GCC x86_64_pc-linux-gnu-3.3.3

scripts/bootstrap-2.6.sh failes with error in glibc-2.3.3_pre20040529

Well it is not a gcc 3.4 issue then

It wouldn't compile for me either - using gcc 3.3.3. So I have been brave and emerged glibc for 20040602, and it is happily compiling now... Hopefully it won't bork my whole system. If it doesn't I might even try gcc 3.4 - will it be stable soon anyway?

gcc 3.4 already is stable... if you switch to the gcc 3.4 profile you should get 3.4.0-r6. as for glibc... it makes me a sad sad lv to see it giving problems to stable users. ~amd64 users have been using it since it's release without problem and i needed to mark it stable to get gcc 3.4 into stable.

i dont understand why anyone is having trouble.... can you all try upgrading everything but glibc and then upgrading glibc? especially the new binutils release.

well, I just bought a amd64 which will make up a server, and I said : whoa, this is some proc, and I don't want to waste the resources with debian, so I go for Gentoo, having no ideea what this discution about gcc 3.3/3.4 is all about. Should I really upgrade to 3.4 ? Will it be stable for a server in production ?

Yes, I'm still running gcc 3.3

updating to gcc 3.4 could be a problem:

tehnomage · n00b Joined: 04 Jun 2004 Posts: 10

even if you go for unstable ?

Tuinslak · Posted: Sat Jun 05, 2004 8:31 am Post subject:

go for unstable?
unstable glibc u mean ?

I emerge my world file without glibc

emerged an unstable version of glibc

Hi,
I have had this problem with 'merge -u world'
my gcc is v.3.3.

How can we solve this?

Erdie

Can I ignore this and just work with the old glibc?

I don't know what to do here .

thx
Erdie

i dont want to just pull the new glibc out of stable, as it's a new version and anything compiled after upgrading glibc will break. however, i'm quite happy to hear 2.3.4.20040602 works... when i roll up a tarball for 2.3.4.20040605, i'll push that into stable. as for how stable 20040602 is, it's apparently broken on x86... i caught ulrich in the middle of a cvs commit with my last snapshot. 20040605 will fix this, and you might want to wait for it before upgrading just in case.

if it werent for that (the incomplete cvs update), the snapshot would have been good to go. it's certainly no more iffy than the normal 2.3.3_pre snapshots we've been forcing on ~arch users

I had the same problem trying to compile glibc-2.3.3_pre20040529 with [1]:

Lv · Retired Dev Joined: 22 Jun 2003 Posts: 352

this bug should be fixed now... sorry about that, another dev broke glibc for amd64 while fixing it for mips. it should now compile using gcc 3.3.x as well as 3.4. *shakes head*
