Re: [lfs-support] More control and package management using package users

2013-12-09 Thread Rob Taylor
I have completed an update to the "More Control Helpers" archive, complete
with a revised build script, more features in the wrapper scripts and a few
more handy scripts. Find
it at this page...

Not quite 100% sure that it's been established. Just wanted to 
double-check that nothing on host-os is different - e.g. bad-install or 
changed via lfs-build leakage into host-os - from what would be expected.

I'd do both. Use '-o ...' flag to log to file; and '-f' flag; and leave all 
others at defaults, at least initially - can refine/adj later if nec to use 
the likes of -v/-x[x]/-t[t[t]]/-r/-ff/-e trace=file/-s strsize/-c/&c.


Also would suggest redirecting all output from configure and from make, to 
logfiles: fwiw I usually have nothing outputting to screen, and just 
'tail -f logfiles' or similar.


Beyond a certain point, if it's really looking like a pathological case (some 
might say it is already), then it may be worth looking/asking at 
gcc/mpfr/gmp/mpc mailing lists, as they'll have a much more ready-made 
knowledge of the various pathways through the code that can be hit. (Also as 
noted earlier, it's not at all uncommon for folks to hit problems similar to 
what you're seeing.)

It looks like the the issue is specific to the x86 architecture.
I would ignore it.

2013-12-09 Thread Ron Hartikka
Thanks William,

I understand you are saying I should be good to go.

What is your platform?


*Native configuration is i686-pc-linux-gnu*

also


*The host is:*




*Ubuntu 13.10   32 bitPentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00GHz × 22GiB
memory*

As far as looking through the gcc-testresults mailing list:

yes I guess I do. Like this, right?

http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=AddressSanitizer_HugeMallocTest+i686-pc-linux-gnu+&cmd=Search%21&form=extended&m=all&ps=10&fmt=long&wm=wrd&sp=1&sy=1&wf=2221&type=&GroupBySite=no&ul=%2Fml%2Fgcc-testresults%2F%25

I'd like to learn is how to tell for myself from these results - or just
one of them - that I'm OK to continue.
Any advice on that?

Thanks again,
Ron

As far as looking through the gcc-testresults mailing list:

http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi?wm=wrd&form=extended&m=all&s=D&ul=%2Fml%2Fgcc-testresults%2F%25&q=AddressSanitizer_HugeMallocTest

A huge number of failures indicates a problem.

The specific error regarding AddressSanitizer_HugeMallocTest as a  
Failure would be platform specific.

You can always refer to the GCC mailing lists as there are always  
current and past testsuite results.

I haven't seen it fail with Sparc64, x86, x86_64, PPC, or PPC64.   
Current tests don't see it failing in vmware.

What is your platform?

Sincerely,

WIlliam Harrington

Hi William,

Thank you.

I should have said I came across that thread and other threads elsewhere
about this error.

But I didn't find a fix.
Nor could *I* glean an indication that it's safe for me to ignore.

Probably my failing.

What did I miss?
Thanks again,
Ron
