Description Josef Mutzenbacher 2011-04-29 16:26:00 UTC
../../../libiberty/strsignal.c:554:1: error: conflicting types for ‘psignal’
/usr/include/signal.h:150:13: note: previous declaration of ‘psignal’ was here


strsignal.c:

#ifndef HAVE_PSIGNAL
void 
psignal (int signo, char *message)


/usr/include/signal.h (GLIBC)

extern void psignal (int __sig, __const char *__s);


adding the __const modifier to the prototype of psignal in strsignal.c fixes compilation.
Comment 1 Andrew Pinski 2011-04-29 16:42:04 UTC
HAVE_PSIGNAL is supposed to be defined if the header file has psignal.  Why does that not happen?  Look at config.log.

i was building with musl libc, but not in a chroot.
the first stage uses a wrapper script as CC, which sets the right include paths.
i was using --disable-bootstrap to disable bootstrapping, but make still invoked the compiled xgcc (thus, it looks as it had been entering the bootstrap phase, but without the correct include paths).

xgcc is invoked for target libraries; libiberty is built as a target
library.

may i ask why this is being built ? it seems as if it is not needed.
is there a way to disable it ?
Comment 5 Andrew Pinski 2011-06-02 19:30:40 UTC
So the end result of the discussion on the mailing list was that libiberty should not be built as a target library.
Comment 6 Hans-Peter Nilsson 2011-06-08 11:48:36 UTC
It Would Be Nice if the eventual solution could be backported to open gcc branches.

(My autotester, when trying to pick up newlib updates, fails for all branches so it seems anyone trying to build a toolchain with a recent newlib and *any* gcc will be hit.)

Comment 10 Roger Meyer 2011-10-07 03:06:58 UTC
duplicate of 47733, 41916

additionally to the removal of libiberty as target library, i'd recommend fixing the prototype.
Comment 11 Roger Meyer 2011-10-07 03:21:12 UTC
the actual problem leading to this is that the check for psignal doesn't include the proper feature-test macros

to cite the manpage


SYNOPSIS
       #include <signal.h>

       void psignal(int sig, const char *s);
       void psiginfo(const siginfo_t *pinfo, const char *s);

       extern const char *const sys_siglist[];

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       psignal(): _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE
       psiginfo(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
       sys_siglist: _BSD_SOURCE
