How much effort would it be to patch current Make for the Hurd?  It
would be ideal if we could apply the patch unconditionally and have a
single Make variant.

This won’t work as expected because ‘source’ is no thunked, and thus
(hurd-system?)  is evaluated at the top level, when the module is
loaded.  (IOW, if you do “-s i586-gnu” from GNU/Linux, it’ll go through
the wrong arm of the ‘if’.)

Would be nice to squash with the previous one.  :-)

Nice patches!  Did you submit them upstream?  They are likely to be
applied quite quickly nowadays, so they could make it in glibc 2.32.
(It’s fine to carry them in the meantime, of course.)

Can we instead change the #define CHROOT_ENABLED such that
CHROOT_ENABLED is always true when __GNU__?  Also with a comment stating

Perhaps we’d also need something based on ‘supported-platforms’ here.

‘substitute*’ accepts a list of files, so you can write it like this:

  (substitute* '("sysdeps/mach/hurd/Makefile" "sysdeps/mach/Makefile")
    …)

I agree, I don't know :-)  v4.3 compiles fine but apart from --help and
--version it hangs when invoked.  I hoped it would be fixed after
applying the clock patches, but those only worked for Python.

We could either try to debug it or try some/all of Debian's glibc
patches.  If it's already fixed by patching glibc, the only effort
involved is suffer some rebuilds.  Unless you have a better idea I'll
have look at patching glibc first.

Ah, crap!  It seemed to work natively and with -t i586-pc-gnu ... (-s
won't work anyway, right?)  Hmm.

With the bootstrapping efforts going around there's a couple of patches
floating around to change the gcc version for libstdc++-boot0. I've
tested the following patch, which also prepares the way for any other
future supported platforms.

I "only" forward ported them, and fixed one; only to find the Debian
glibc git archive just yesterday; so very similar ones are in Debian.

It is unclear to me how that works, some are prefixed local-, others
submitted- or unsubmitted-.  I'll have to ask around.

Worse, I just found what I meant to fix before with

    glibc-hurd-clock_gettime_monotonic.patch

namely

    Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize time
    OSError: [Errno 1073741846] Invalid argument

has somehow regressed...bah!  Combining that with our make v4.1/v4.3
problem, I guess I'll need to dive into these Debian patches some more.

Ah nice.  Looking closer I see now that this also avoided rebuilds and
conveniently splices returns a list -- changed to

                   ;; Tell 'libpthread' where to find 'libihash' on Hurd systems.

I tried a couple of things and then remembered a patch by Manolis that
already does something like this; but nicer.  So, I am now using that
patch and am only keeping this hack in the second patch (both attached)

No, maybe Manolis knows?  What I do know is why I used the patch: before
applying this patch I could only build up to binutils-boot0.
binutils-boot0 would always fail like so

    ./pre-inst-env guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) binutils-boot0)' --no-offload
    XXX fails: Workaround for nix daemon
phase `compress-documentation' succeeded after 0.4 seconds
error: cannot kill processes for uid `999': Operation not permitted
guix build: error: cannot kill processes for uid `999': failed with exit code 1

I haven't been seeing zombies but I'll watch for them now; don't know
what's going on here?

That looks nice; thanks -- I have added i586-gnu and am trying if that

OK!  Yes, I'm reverting to this scenario.  I'm afraid some shared
library doesn't get built and that that's where it usually finds
`delete'.

But is the build process actually running as UID 999?  If you pass
‘--disable-chroot’, then I think build users are not used at all, right?

I’m not sure this is correct.  Perhaps we rather need an “#ifdef
__linux__” around the use of clone(2)?

Other options:

  1. Implement clone(2) with CLONE_NEW* in libc on GNU/Hurd.

  2. Add a “sandbox” abstraction in the daemon, with OS-specific
     implementations of the abstraction (the Nix daemon did that at some
     point, with the goal of supporting proprietary macOS etc.)

     For GNU/Linux, it’d use chroot(2)+clone(NEWNS) etc. as root.

     On GNU/Hurd, it could spawn the process in a sub-Hurd, i.e., with
     its own proc server, root file system server, and without a pfinet
     server running.

Option #2 can be fun to implement and probably easier and less
controversial than Option #1.  However, it does mean adding more code of
the C++ code base, which is sad.

Either way, it’s a bit of work, so this can definitely come later.

If you're using gcc-7 as the bootstrap gcc for the Hurd then IMO you should go ahead and either use gcc-7 or gcc for the libstdc++-boot0

Ah...your patch but then with gcc-7 instead of gcc-5; gosh why didn't I
think of that.  Thank you!

I'll give that a try...although that patch won't get in, in its current
form, right?  We'd have to think of some solution...

It seems that they are; I'm running

    sudo ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon --disable-chroot --build-users-group=guixbuild &

and when starting two build processes, I get

    └─sudo(744,root)───guix-daemon(746)─ /

        ─┬─guix-daemon(1484)─┬─guile(1487,guixbuilder01)─ /
         │                   └─guile-2.2(1485)

            ──make(2512)───gcc(6043)───cc1(6048)

guixbuilder01 is 999, guixbuilder02 is 998 etc.  Does this mean that
root cannot pid.wait() for the builders?  Note that this error does not occur
when building gnu-make-boot0 or diffutils-boot0.

Hmm, after some more playing on the Hurd and our conversation on IRC, I
found that kill -1 simply does not work at the moment.

I copied sysdeps/mach/hurd/kill.c, renamed __kill to debug_kill and
added

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
// libc_hidden_def (__kill)
// weak_alias (__kill, kill)

int
main ()
{
  return debug_kill (-1, SIGKILL);
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Running this as a dummy user, it turns out we run

      err = __proc_getpgrppids (proc, - pid, &pids, &npids);

(effectively asking for PIDs in group of PID=1 ??) and returns only one
PID, in my case 5292

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
demo@debian:~$ ps -ef -p 5292
    USER   PID  PPID TTY     TIME COMMAND
       -  5292     5   -  0:00.00 /hurd/storeio -Tzero
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hmm?  So it seems that kill -1 is currently not supported, or buggy.
I'll look/ask into this some more today.

I'm assuming that 1.is what Manolis wanted to support with his
libhurdutil?  In fact, I forward ported (minimal effort) the patch

    https://gitlab.com/janneke/hurd/-/commit/856e86f2105417363b85b4d7c4d3141f9e81fb56

but haven't tried linking against this yet.  That would be a nice first
step.  2. sounds fun, but it would need more getting familiar with the

Tried to try this

(define libstdc++-boot0
  ;; GCC's libcc1 is always built as a shared library (the top-level
  ;; 'Makefile.def' forcefully adds --enable-shared) and thus needs to refer
  ;; to libstdc++.so.  We therefore use a version of GCC which most closely
  ;; matches the bootstrap compiler of that architecture.
  (let ((lib (make-libstdc++
              (match (warn 'CS: (or (%current-target-system)
                                    (%current-system)))
                 ("i586-gnu" gcc-7)
                 (_ gcc-4.9)))))

overnight, but I realised that this diversification does not work; CS is
still x86_64-linux here when cross building for the Hurd.

Oh, OK.

I suppose the commit you link to could have been used by libc to
implement #1?  Oh, actually, IIRC, Manolis was working on implementing
mount(2) and umount(2) in libc (which would also be needed), and
probably the settrans utilities were part of that effort.

Thanks,
