-hashvals && -zdynsort alternative (-Wl,--hash-style=?)

enderandrew · l33t Joined: 25 Oct 2005 Posts: 731

This is not a replacement in any way for -Bdirect. -Bdirect may resurface in a form that is compatible with these patches. The last email I got from Michael Meeks seemed to suggest that. These patches replace dynsort and hashvals. However, they break the current -Bdirect patches.

The binutils team seems against -Bdirect in any form, for fear it will break things. Yet, it has never broken anything for me, and if another unofficial patch for it does emerge, I'll use it in a heartbeat. I'm going to wait a little longer to see if Meeks does release a new Bdirect that works in conjunction with these new patches.

Edit: I also noticed that samba is not working with the new patches. I'm going to try to build the latest 3.0.23_rc3 and see if that fixes it (though I don't expect it will). I just manually downloaded the source into my distfiles directory, renamed the ebuild and moved it into my overlay folder.

Color me confused, but doesn't prelink already work with these patches?

Very interesting. Are there unofficial patches floating around perhaps that I might try?

Ok the overlays have changed.

http://distfiles.evolution-mission.org/portage/binutils-overlay.tar.bz2
http://distfiles.evolution-mission.org/portage/glibc-overlay.tar.bz2
Prelink - No changes

Now to use --hash-style, you must USE="hashstyle".

It looks like the new patch is done: http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-07/msg00023.html

so i need to delete --hash-style=both from LDFLAGS? or the USE flag is only for compile the glibc and binutils with the support of hash-style?

nesl247 · Veteran Joined: 15 Jun 2004 Posts: 1614 Location: Florida

You still need the LDFLAG, but the USE flag sets the patches to be used. I did it so I don't have to maintain two overlays for binutils, and two for glibc.

ok, thaks for the quick response

and another two thing, how i will sure that this pacht is worlking? will the overlay be included in layman?

nesl247 · Veteran Joined: 15 Jun 2004 Posts: 1614 Location: Florida

I don't control any of the layman stuff, nor do I know who to contact regarding that. As far as knowing it works, if after emerging glibc and binutils (without --hash-style in LDFLAGS) and then adding it and you don't get a c cannot compile... error, it's working.

The new binutils patch is posted. Do we need updated patches for prelink and glibc or will the old ones work?

If you read carefully in the link I posted, it seems Ulrich has them.. I just don't see where they are posted.

another thing i want to coment is in my laptop yesterday after follow the guide i run prelink with this comand (i did not do the emerge -e world

)

Gergan Penkov · Posted: Wed Jul 05, 2006 9:00 am Post subject:

You should not run prelink before you have world emerged, the patched prelink will try to use the new-style hashes and if you don't have them - you say it will break

I have updated the first page with the new links to the nesl247 overlays.

so the latest nesl247's overlay contains the latest patches now? Been considering to give this a try for a while

, do prelink need any updated patches or do the "old" prelink hashstyle patches still work with the new patches for binutils+glibc?

Can anyone with a bit more understanding tell me if we need to remove --hash-style=both, emerge -1 binutils glibc with new patch, ad --hash-style-both, emerge -1 binutils glibc, emerge -e world? Or is it just update emerge -1 binutils glibc; emerge -e world.

I take it from previous responses that it's the longer method..

P.S. for all those who downloaded my new glibc, please redownload it. For some reason I forgot to add the hashstyle USE flag to the glibc-2.4-r4 and 2.4.90 ebuilds. The url HASN'T changed.

Since they still haven't been posted on any of the binutils or glibc mailing lists as far as I can see, I emailed Ulrich and request the corresponding glibc patches to be posted.

Thanks enderandrew.. As soon as you find them, can you post them here.. I'll have the overlays updated immediately then.

i only know that with glibc-2.4.90-pre20060701, binutils-2.17 with the overlay of yesterday I can't compile anything

I will redownload and recompile glibc and binutils now whith the second one options :S
