I've run into a problem trying to validate SM and FF for 8.4, First
SM.
It appears that SM prefers clang over gcc. The build fails early
because it uses clang by default and the sanity check fails because
the CFLAGS we pass are incompatible with clang.
I added CC=gcc CXX=g++ and SM built. It seems to run OK, so I've
added those variables to the book with a note that says if you want
to use clang, don't set the flags.
The problem with FF is more serious. At the 29 minute point I get:
27:48.76 Compiling gkrust v0.1.0
(/tmp/firefox/firefox-65.0/toolkit/library/rust)
29:17.59 error: Could not compile `gkrust`.
29:17.60 Caused by:
... (long command line here)
(signal: 11, SIGSEGV: invalid memory reference)
We use clang for FF so I tried gcc and got the same error.
The funny thing is that I built FF a week ago with exactly the same
instructions (the same script) on my Skylake workstation (basically
a less complete 8.4 system) and it is fine. My development system
is a Haswell. Both are running rustc 1.32.0.
The only thing I could find on google is
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecat/?comments=all
but it doesn't seem to have a solution.
Any ideas?
I'm going to have to build Firefox so that I can configure CUPS
probably tonight or tomorrow. I'll get back to you with the results
off that, especially if we have the same problem.
I'm beginning to think it might be a CPU HW issue, but it's mostly
speculation. Can you check it out on your Haswell?

Yes I can. It's going to take a bit though, I need to decide on either
updating it's packages to 8.4 or running a jhalfs build at -j12 and
building it out that way. I think running similar software would be
important for this test.
If you'd prefer, I can run LFS in a VMWare Workstation VM on it's
Windows side. It'll pass through all CPU calls to the Haswell CPU
instead of running it through hypervisor emulation with the way I have
it setup (copying lscpu and lspci output over SSH):

So while allowing me to test the VMWare X drivers, it'd also allow me to
test out your firefox problem. This does however mean that it's going to
take a couple days. For this test, I'd bump up the virtual CPUs to 12
cores and toss it 16GB of RAM so I could run -j12 on it, but factoring
in dependencies, it's likely to take longer.
Which would you prefer? Xorg VMware drivers, or updating my LFS install
and testing it?
