Bootstrapping core-updates fails with mpc-1.2.1dev

Bootstrapping core-updates fails with mpc-1.2.1dev

[Andreas Enge]

Hello,

after the release of mpc-1.2.0, I tried to update the version in core-updates.
More precisely, I used a tarball of the current master under the name of
mpc-1.2.1dev, with an additional commit. Then bootstrapping fails.

For someone with bayfront access, the build log is in
   /var/log/guix/drvs/ay/qa5whpm2nq3667ff69xzqvn9119b8g-gcc-cross-boot0-7.5.0.drv.gz

It ends with this:
...

Does this ring a bell? I do not quite see how this can be related to the mpc
version used for bootstrapping; and the phase unpack-gmp&co is carried out
and does unpack my mpc-1.2.1dev.tar.gz after gmp and mpfr.

What is strange in the compiler line above is that gmp and mpfr are
referenced by -I directives, but mpc is not.

Is there anything special with gmp-7.5.0 that prevents it from being compiled
with a newer mpc? The build log also shows that gmp and mpfr are compiled in
their respective subdirectories, but mpc is not.

I might have found the reason thanks to "guix build -K".
Here are a few files in the gcc source directory:
lrwxrwxrwx  1 andreas users       9 Aug 20 22:29 gmp -> gmp-6.0.0
drwxr-xr-x 15 andreas users    4096 Aug 20 22:29 gmp-6.0.0/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 andreas users       9 Aug 20 22:29 mpc -> mpc-1.2.1
drwxr-xr-x  8 andreas users    4096 Aug 20 22:29 mpc-1.2.1dev/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 andreas users      10 Aug 20 22:29 mpfr -> mpfr-4.1.0
drwxr-xr-x  9 andreas users    4096 Aug 20 22:29 mpfr-4.1.0/

So it looks like gcc can cope with different gmp/mpfr/mpc version numbers,
but not with the "dev" suffix.

I will give it another try.
