Package: binutils
Version: 2.22-6.1
Severity: normal
debian/rules contains:
STRIP = strip --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note
CROSS :=
ifneq ($(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE),$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE))
CROSS := $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)-
CC = $(CROSS)gcc
CXX = $(CROSS)g++
STRIP= $(CROSS)strip --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note
install_binary = install -m 755 -s --strip-program="$(STRIP)"
endif
If binutils is cross-built, using
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck dpkg-buildpackage -aarmhf -uc -us
This results in install failing because 'install' is run with
--strip-program="arm-linux-gnueabihf-strip --remove-section=.comment
--remove-section=.note"
which of course results in 'file not found', because --strip-program is
expecting an
actual binary name.
This works on the native build because
install_binary = install -m 755 -s
i.e. does not include the --strip-program setting.
There is no --strip-options setting in install so far as I can see, so if this
behvaiour
is important then I think it can only be done with a wrapper script.
I tried running arm-linux-gnueabihf-strip --remove-section=.comment
--remove-section=.note
on builddir-static/ld/ld-new (the file it fell over on) and the size didn't
change so I'm not sure how important it
is to pass these options to strip? Is it really needed? If so how should we fix
this?
The simplest thing is just to specify --strip-program as "$(CROSS)strip" when
crossing then it all
builds fine. But I'm not sure if that is a suitable fix, as maybe that
remove-section
stuff is important.
It's here in the rules file that the issue arises:
install-static-stamp: checkroot build-static-stamp
$(checkdir)
rm -fr $(d_static) $(d_udeb)
$(install_dir) $(d_static) $(d_udeb)
: # Copy static ld-new into /bin for both -static and -static-udeb
$(install_dir) $(d_static)/bin
$(install_binary) builddir-static/ld/ld-new $(d_static)/bin/ld_static
...
The same problem arises in Ubuntu quantal.
