Problem with installing C library

Problem with installing C library

[Zdenko Bacik]

Dear crosstool developers,

I have got tricky problem during building of crosstool-ng-1.18:

I build crosstool-ng in virtual machine on linux distribution Ubuntu
12.04 LTS. Mostly of builds are successfully,
but from time to time the compilation fail during building of libc
part. I have configured glibc-2.17.

If I look to the log file I find there this:

[ERROR]    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
[ERROR]    make[3]: ***
[/home/kistler/svn.trunk/060_Build/maXYmoTL/crosstool-ng-1.18.0/targets/i586-kistler-linux-gnu/build/build-libc-final/libc.so]

If I tried to analyze this problem and I found some strange behavior
before error occurred.
I try to describe it:
1. Problem seems to be during execute script Makerules
(./crosstool-ng/targets/src/glibc-2.17/Makerules) which edit shlib.lds
file.
2. In this Makerules script in line 470 is called command 'sed' (see
lines below)

465: $(common-objpfx)shlib.lds: $(common-objpfx)config.make $(..)Makerules
466:    $(LINK.o) -shared -Wl,-O1 \
467:          -nostdlib -nostartfiles \
468:          $(sysdep-LDFLAGS) $(config-LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS.so) \
469:          -Wl,--verbose 2>&1 | \
470:      sed > $@T \

When my build failed and I look to the build.log file I can see small
differences in parameters of this 'sed'.
See differences between successfully build and failed build:
Successfully build: ...... PROVIDE(__start___libc_subfreeres = .);
__libc_subfreeres : { *(__libc_subfreeres) } ......... parameters are
same like in script Makerules
Failed build:          ...... PROVIDE(__start___libc_subfreeres = .);
__libc_subfreeres : { __libcbc_subfreeres) } ......... parameters are
corrupted (*, bracket are missing)

In my point of view this corruption in output file shlib.ldsT failed my build.

Do you have any idea what is wrong ?
In this link you can download whole build.log file:
