bug#72725: [core-updates] [i686-linux] guile-static fails to build

[Ricardo Wurmus]

I'm attempting to use "guix deploy" to deploy to a i686-linux system.
The build of /gnu/store/c9ivpr5g7arp67kgfhnp37z22gadg6zp-guile-static-3.0.9.drv fails.  This is needed
for the initrd derivations /gnu/store/nqrfgnq84i8qrabzf2022rhw926i70ab-guile-static-initrd-3.0.9.drv
and /gnu/store/gz0p3q9zvqyvlbpsqaqy1842vjjn66xm-raw-initrd.drv.

Here is how guile-static fails:

This result was obtained on core-updates commit aab1fe98574e1cd4c7911c1e5571b3733fb71d67.

The ‘fmod’ symbol is missing from the i686-linux libm.a, but it’s
available in the x86_64 libm-2.39.a:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix shell --pure -s x86_64-linux gcc-toolchain@11{,:static} -- gcc -Wall -O2 fmod.c -lm -static
$ file a.out
a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped

$ ./pre-inst-env guix shell --pure -s i686-linux gcc-toolchain@11{,:static} -- gcc -Wall -O2 fmod.c -lm -static
ld: /tmp/ccvt0V2Q.o: in function `main':
fmod.c:(.text.startup+0x3c): undefined reference to `fmod'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
$ cat fmod.c
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  return fmod (atof (argv[1]), atof (argv[2]));
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I’m not sure why that is the case; i686 seems to be the only one with
that problem.

This is an upstream bug, fixed in glibc 2.40 (glibc commit
0b716305dfb48c2d13ed4f7d06c082b90c1d226f):

  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31488

Fixed in commit 87cc46aefce0072dc83e667d85a59a34eecfd89f.

Thanks,
