Bug ID: 109602 Summary: Import Gentoo msgfmt patch ? Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: romain.geissler at amadeus dot com Target Milestone: --- Hi, I am wondering, would it make sense to import Gentoo's msgfmt patch ? In some occasion, it seems that the build system of gcc/libstdc++ wrongly sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH when building (in case it helps, in my case it seems to happens only when doing a gcc bootstrap). I am speaking about this patch: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/gcc-patches.git/tree/10.3.0/gentoo/36_all_msgfmt-libstdc++-link.patch?id=6fb906ef2da01327d64cea263887ef34c97c1bbf and more globally about this set of Gentoo bugs https://bugs.gentoo.org/372377 or https://bugs.gentoo.org/843119 It seems at least Alpine Linux also carries this patch: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/main/gcc/0009-Ensure-that-msgfmt-doesn-t-encounter-problems-during.patch I understand the underlying issue is more that LD_LIBRARY_PATH shouldn't be set, but it seems past investigations didn't really lead to finding this root cause (see bug #105688), so in the meantime, maybe this workaround patch should be imported in upstream tree directly. It's just a proposal, I would understand this is refused. Cheers, Romain
