Subject: bug#48591: ugrep: illegal instruction
Date: Sat, 22 May 2021 12:19:30 -0800

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi, I found another package, ugrep, which is evidently using native
instructions that do not work on my processor. When I run ugrep (e.g.,
`ugrep -Q') it immediately dies with error 'illegal instruction'.
However, if I pull the source with `guix build -S' and build and
install it to a local directory, it runs without trouble.

I'm sure this will also be a reproducibility bug, and plan on
submitting guix challenge results. However, the command I am running to
rebuild ugrep without grafts or substitutes is rebuilding everything
all the way back to bootstrap, so it probably will not be completed for
a day or two:

guix gc -D $(guix build --no-grafts ugrep); guix build --no-substitutes 
ugrep

Please compare similar bug 48373. It didn't seem worth the trouble of
running an object dump and figuring out which instruction is illegal,
but I could do that if required.

My system information:
