I can't build dmd on Arch Linux anymore. I'm told it's because of a
binutils update. Annoying.
yeah, the great thing. i was hit by that bus too, and had to mutilate
druntime to make unittests work again. lucky me, i'm using static
phobos. don't even want to think about the scale of the disaster for
people with libphobos2.so...
O.O
Like what will happen to us on Gentoo with libphobos2.so when
binutils-2.8 moves to stable here? And can it all be solved by
compiling with -fPIC, like is required for hardened
installations anyways or are there dmd versions that flat out
wont work any longer?
sorry, i don't know about PIC (not using it). otherwise, you won't be able
to run anything with shared phobos: druntime conflict scanner will always
find a conflict and abort (that is what happening with test_runner). at
least 2.074 is affected. i "solved" it by commenting out druntime checker,
but this cannot be used as a general solution, of course: the checker
should be fixed. yet i don't know enough about elf and .so (and, tbh, i
don't even *want* to dive there).
bugreport says that PIC is a working solution (i.e. binaries and libraries
built with -fPIC should work). i didn't checked it, tho (not a big fan of
PIC).
