Zig on core-updates

Zig on core-updates

[Andreas Enge]

Just a one-package-failure-report: zig fails on core-updates, and I do not
see why from the error message. If someone who knows the package could have
a look, that would be great.

No solution, but maybe some pointers:

It seems like the installed `zig` binary segfaults.

This is the build failure message:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
starting phase `check'
error: in phase 'check': uncaught exception:
%exception #<&invoke-error program: "/gnu/store/8pd12pn8n3ganc3y4776m44gjrfdvlvd-zig-0.10.1/bin/zig" arguments: ("build" "test" "-Dskip-stage1" "-Dskip-stage2-tests" "-Dskip-non-native") exit-status: #f term-signal: 11 stop-signal: #f>

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When invoking the installed binary directly:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ /gnu/store/8pd12pn8n3ganc3y4776m44gjrfdvlvd-zig-0.10.1/bin/zig 
Segmentation fault
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I'm afraid, I don't know anything about debugging segfaults. 

A hunch: This might have something to do with Zig not properly
supporting glibc 2.35: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/12808

Thanks, this looks like a good explanation of the problem, but I do not
quite see what could be a solution... I see a string of issues of the form
"add support for targeting glibc ..."
   https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/12808
   https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/12809
   https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/14798
but all of them are open.

We may have to do without zig in the foreseeable future...

They just added a tag for the next release. We can wait.

We may have to backport whatever fix they do, it looks like 0.11 is
going to use their new bootstrap chain, with a pre-compiled zig wasm
binary.
