Subject: [PATCH] gnu: gcc-4.7: Fix slash in startfile prefix.
Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2025 03:43:57 +0200

These prefixes must have a trailing slash.[0] When this slash is
omitted, gcc fails to find ?crt*.o files when LIBRARY_PATH is not set:

    $ uname -a
    Linux guix 6.10.14-gnu #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC 1 aarch64 GNU/Linux
    $ guix shell --pure gcc-toolchain -- /bin/sh -c 'LIBRARY_PATH= gcc hello.c'
    ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory
    ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I ran into this when building Yocto images in Guix containers, where
bitbake resets the environment and expects an FHS system.

Looking at `-print-search-dirs', the prefix is definitely present at the
end of the startfiles prefixes list[1]:

    $ guix shell --pure gcc-toolchain -- /bin/sh -c 'LIBRARY_PATH= gcc -print-search-dirs'
    <...>
    libraries: <...>:/gnu/store/3gvs8sw95ldfypr1n688svl5brwdmdi9-glibc-2.39/lib

However, looking closer with strace, gcc is trying to find crt1.o at
`/lib../lib/crt1.o' and `/libcrt1.o', which are paths that have been
mangled due to the missing slash:

    $ guix shell --pure gcc-toolchain strace -- /bin/sh -c 'LIBRARY_PATH= strace -e trace=file gcc hello.c' 2>&1 | grep /gnu/store/3gvs8sw95ldfypr1n688svl5brwdmdi9-glibc-2.39/lib

Good catch.  Pushed to the ‘core-packages-team’ branch.  (You can see
the position of this branch in the merge queue at
<https://qa.guix.gnu.org/>.)

Now’s a good time if you have other world-rebuild toolchain changes like
this one to submit them!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
