I'm using uclibc-based Gentoo. There's been a uclibc update recently that raised some issues for me but I mention it only for completeness; this looks like an indepndent issue: > Dumping under the name bootstrap-emacs.pdmp > dumping fingerprint: > 67aacf1623988ccfad67fb74359f6a16c36eb0d53162bdbea9ff90b756bae3be > Dump complete > Byte counts: header=80 hot=13444056 discardable=111072 cold=9331728 > Reloc counts: hot=940383 discardable=4355 > make -C ../lisp compile-first EMACS="../src/bootstrap-emacs" > make[2]: Entering directory > '/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/emacs-28.0.9999/work/emacs/lisp' > EMACSLOADPATH= '../src/bootstrap-emacs' -batch --no-site-file > --no-site-lisp --eval '(setq load-prefer-newer t)' -f > batch-byte-compile emacs-lisp/macroexp.el > EMACSLOADPATH= '../src/bootstrap-emacs' -batch --no-site-file > --no-site-lisp --eval '(setq load-prefer-newer t)' -f > batch-byte-compile emacs-lisp/cconv.el > *** stack smashing detected ***: ../src/bootstrap-emacs terminated > make[2]: *** [Makefile:296: emacs-lisp/macroexp.elc] Killed > make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... > *** stack smashing detected ***: ../src/bootstrap-emacs terminated > make[2]: *** [Makefile:296: emacs-lisp/cconv.elc] Killed > make[2]: Leaving directory > '/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/emacs-28.0.9999/work/emacs/lisp' > make[1]: *** [Makefile:819: bootstrap-emacs.pdmp] Error 2 > make[1]: Leaving directory > '/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/emacs-28.0.9999/work/emacs/src' > make: *** [Makefile:424: src] Error 2 > * ERROR: app-editors/emacs-28.0.9999::akater failed (compile phase): > * emake failed The gist of the issue is > *** stack smashing detected ***: ../src/bootstrap-emacs terminated I'm using what's called “a hardened profile” (for the reference: default/linux/amd64/17.0/uclibc/hardened) information on uclibc profile is actually sparse and outdated at places but hardened profiles usually provide hardened toolchain which includes stack smashing protection. I'll provide more feedback if necessary.
