Subject: [core-updates-frozen] "multiple definition of..." build failures
Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2021 14:23:13 -0700

Hello Guix,

GCC 10 changed the default behavior when encountering multiple
definitions of a global (often an enum) [0].  This causes error messages
like [1]:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  ld: a.o:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `a'; main.o:(.data+0x0): first defined here
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Gentoo's tracker for this issue [2] also has some more info.  I manually
searched Cuirass build logs and found 28 packages failing on x86_64 with
this error:

arcan-sdl <at> 0.5.5.2-1.b4dd1fb

I submitted an issue upstream for transmission-remote-gtk [3], but I
haven't taken a look at the others.  Any takers?

Great that you built a list of affected packages.

I guess there are several options:

  1. Build with ‘-fcommon’, effectively restoring pre-GCC-10 behavior;

  2. Build with GCC 8.x or so, for example by adding it to
     ‘native-inputs’;

  3. Upgrade packages and hope for the best;

  4. Add the missing ‘extern’ keyword in declarations, assuming that
     really is the problem.

I suppose we’ll have to see on a case-by-cases basis which approach is
the easiest.  Since we have a list, let’s parallelize work and
synchronize on IRC and in this issue!

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi Ludo,

>> lablgtk <at> 2.18.10
>> libsrtp <at> 2.3.0
>> ocaml4.07-lablgtk <at> 1.18.10

I've sent patches [0] [1] to fix these by updating them.  Together they
have 79 dependents.

Hi again,

>> libappindicator <at> 12.10.0
>> pipewire <at> 0.2.7

I've sent patches for these [0][1], with a total of 22 dependents.

The remaining packages have a total of 19 dependents, 7 of which belong
to ocl-icd <at> 2.2.12.  As soon as ocl-icd's website is back online, updating
it to 2.2.13 should fix the build.

I just saw that on the master branch ocl-icd has been deprecated and
replaced by opencl-icd-loader. However I've not tried merging master
into core-updates-frozen to see if it the build works.

I've just submitted a patch to fix ocl-icd [0].

Hmmm.  It looks like it was removed because it "disappeared", but it
just changed locations...

More fixes:

a24b83d7ff gnu: uget: Add -fcommon to CFLAGS.
eceecd8ab4 gnu: transmission-remote-gtk: Update to 1.4.2.
92deae62c1 gnu: jumpnbump: Remove trailing #T.
02296cb0c8 gnu: jumpnbump: Add -fcommon to CFLAGS.
3e678de04c gnu: mupen64plus-core: Add -fcommon to CFLAGS.

This leaves pcsxr and ocaml4.07-lablgtk.  I wasn’t able to fix 
pcsxr and there’s no more recent tagged version to test.  I don’t 
really want to touch ocaml4.07-lablgtk, because it’s probably 
going to fail in ways I don’t understand.

Any takers for the remaining two packages?
