bug#36356: 27.0.50; linking error in git head on macos: _freea in libgnu

[Sam Steingold]

"make bootstrap" fails with:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  CCLD     temacs
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_freea", referenced from:
      _rpl_realpath in libgnu.a(canonicalize-lgpl.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: *** [temacs] Error 1
make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

when I comment out HAVE_ALIGNED_ALLOC, HAVE_ALLOCA, HAVE_ALLOCA_H,
HAVE_DECL_ALIGNED_ALLOC in config.h, the error becomes

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  CCLD     temacs
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_mmalloca", referenced from:
      _rpl_realpath in libgnu.a(canonicalize-lgpl.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[1]: *** [temacs] Error 1
make: *** [src] Error 2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is, apparently, related to bug#36172.

As suggested there, I tried
`make bootstrap CC="gcc -mmacosx-version-min=10.14"`
and got the same _freea error.

I also got these warnings:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

I think you'll find the following works better as a temporary workaround:

$ diff -u gnulib.mk gnulib.mk.new

Thanks, but `make` now fails with

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make -C ../lisp update-subdirs

cp -f temacs bootstrap-emacs
rm -f bootstrap-emacs.pdmp
./temacs --batch  -l loadup --temacs=pbootstrap

make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs.pdmp] Abort trap: 6
make: *** [src] Error 2

(while `make bootstrap` rewrites gnulib.mk)
When I disable _aligned_alloc in config.h, I get the _freea failure:


  CCLD     temacs

Paul's commit 848ff94b45 on master has fixed this for me.

It looks like this has been fixed, so I'm closing this now.

If this is still an issue, please reopen.
