Subject: [core-updates-frozen] Bug in binutils 1.37
Date: Mon, 06 Sep 2021 15:39:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fsuh4rsb.fsf@kitej> (raw)


[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 725 bytes --]

Hi,

There's a bug in binutils 1.37, which we are using on the
core-updates-frozen branch.

It's a file descriptor leak that can lead to 'malformed archive' errors
when linking libraries. We get this problem at least when building
qtwekbit and qtwebengine. A workaround allows us to compile qtwebkit
(see [1]), but it doesn't work for qtwebengine.

The bug was discussed at [2] and upstream has a patch to fix it at [3].
However, adding this patch to our binutils rebuilds the world.
I'm currently trying to build things with the patched binutils.
If everything works, should I push this fix on core-updates-frozen, or
does someone have an idea that would lead to less rebuilds?

P.S.: The patch I'm trying is in attachment.
