Still broken: boost. In file included from ./boost/interprocess/detail/os_file_functions.hpp:40:0, from ./boost/interprocess/mapped_region.hpp:29, from libs/log/src/posix/ipc_reliable_message_queue.cpp:51: ./boost/interprocess/detail/os_file_functions.hpp:636:16: error: stray ‘@’ in program while((de=::readdir(d))) { [...] build of /gnu/store/j29v8ph3asv4sywi0437hs6wwd9knvy2-boost-1.74.0.drv failed That means that boost, or that source file, is not being compiled with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 . Nowhere does the header file boost/interprocess/detail/os_file_functions.hpp even check the value of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. ./libs/filesystem/src/platform_config.hpp is responsible for setting up _FILE_OFFSET_BITS in general. That means that platform_config.hpp is not being #included in the former. boost/interprocess/errors.hpp:// Parts of this code are taken from boost::filesystem library boost/interprocess/errors.hpp:// See library home page at http://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem But that means that this does not USE the "filesystem" library and neither does it set _FILE_OFFSET_BITS like the "filesystem" library would. All this happens even after I added a phase to gnu-build-system to set _FILE_OFFSET_BITS unconditionally, so boost ignores that, too.
