How to set x86 ISA needed property?

How to set x86 ISA needed property?

[Manuel Lauss]

I've been building a userland for an AMD E-450 (gcc march=btver1) on
a much more modern and faster x86 host.
Now, the machione does not boot because up-to-date  glibc devel says this:

/lib64/libc.so.6: CPU ISA level is lower than required

readelf libc.so.6 says:
Displaying notes found in: .note.gnu.property
 Owner                Data size        Description
 GNU                  0x00000010       NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0
     Properties: x86 ISA needed: x86-64-baseline, x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3

x86-64-v3 is supported by the build machine, but the btver1 is at most -v2.
This used to work in the past; is there a way to force glibc to a certain level?
(binutils-2.35.1, gcc-10.2.1, glibc master as of 27.01.2021).


Thanks!

What does “gcc -v”?  What are you glibc configure/build flags?

This is expected to happen only if you use something like
-march=x86-64-v3 to build glibc, and only with recent toolchain
version.  I'm surprised you are hitting this with GCC 10, which does not
implement -march=x86-64-v3.

Thanks,

I'm surprised as well, though not all libs/executables have the property set,
most are missing it.  Gentoo's patches to gcc don't add the property code
either, i'll check binutils next.

I removed the note, and this allowed systemd to start.

Danke!

It may be a binutils issue.  It looks like it chooses x86-64-v3 as the
minimal level that includes ABM (under a different name).  That doesn't
look correct.  Please check if this is a Gentoo patch, or an upstream
issue.

Thanks,
Florian
