(trilema) mod6: So Shinohai and I just got done testing my TEST2 bundle with rotor script. We've built successfully on: Gentoo/glibc, Ubuntu 10.04, Debian 6 and Debian 8 :: All x86_64
(trilema) mod6: was a gentoo/glibc environement -- compiled buildroot with the musl settings. didn't change anything to the "rotor" steps execept for adding the change to BDB configure options in trinque's message.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: doing what, glibc gentoo ?
(trilema) ascii_field: to get out of glibc !
(trilema) shinohai is now seeing why ascii_field hates glibc so much

(trilema) BingoBoingo: "Note that the status of the bug was changed from "RESOLVED INVALID" to "RESOLVED FIXED" in 2014-03-20. Probably because as well as I know Ulrich currently doesn't work in Red Hat and doesn't have any commit access. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.glibc.alpha/19088"
(trilema) BingoBoingo: Cars fuckign cars, cats and dogs getting along. Drepper really did beat Linus on Glibc didn't he.
(trilema) ascii_field: mircea_popescu: you just described glibc, l0l
(trilema) asciilifeform: the main allure, for me, was 1) drepper goes to the furnace where he belongs; no glibc 2) can switch cpu arch by turning a knob

(trilema) assbot: 142 results for 'glibc' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=glibc
(trilema) ascii_field: phf: i determined, some months ago, that glibc is evil. and decided to abolish it from bitcoin.
(trilema) mod6: i built mine on a gentoo/nomultilib/glibc x86-64 host
(trilema) ascii_field: mod6: it uses buildroot to generate a gcc and binutils clean of glibc
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ascii_field: what's the difference between musl and glibc?
(trilema) ascii_field: can't use glibc toolchain to build binaries with musl
(trilema) ascii_field: the binary is a full MB smaller than glibc stator, too
(trilema) asciilifeform unzips, pisses on the grave of glibc
(trilema) mod6: yeah, trinque. I got the same error [this is on, gentoo/nomultilib/glibc built on 20150713]: http://dpaste.com/27S67FQ.txt
(trilema) trinque: mod6: gentoo hardened glibc amd64
(trilema) mod6: what type of environment did you build on? im building mine on [gentoo/nomultilib/glibc]
(trilema) mod6: my plan for tonight is to put out the bitcoin-v0_5_4-TEST1.tar.gz bundle to the ML tonight if possible. This is a pre-patched tarball of all of ascii's patches (and one of my fixes) up through verifyall. Should work only on x86-64 deb6/ubuntu 14.04/gentoo nomultilib glibc - if anyone wants to help test.
(trilema) mod6: I was able to build on deb6/gentoo nomultilib glibc/and ubuntu 14.04 just fine. On ubuntu, my problem was missing realpath. DEERP.
(trilema) hanbot: package names should be the same, yeah. only package i haven't been able to find in .deb form is glibc-static, see http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-07-2015#1210151
(trilema) mod6: so I had this build that i created on the 13th: 20150713-v0531-patched-glibc-gentoo-statorBuildScript
(trilema) mod6: it was: gentoo x86-64 glibc: v0.5.3.1+{ these patches in this order: http://dpaste.com/1CSFS1A.txt } built with stator build script. connected to: 195.211.154.159:8333 running with verifyall - ran great up until a few days back. we discussed this.
(trilema) assbot: Logged on 23-07-2015 01:20:23; mod6: my one gentoo (all ascii's patches through verifyall x86-64/glibc) build got all the way up to where nsl is wedged. but my openbsd one is crawling along on verify all also... so far: height=220047

(trilema) hanbot: if glibc on its own is insufficent tho, i have little faith libc6-dev without the -static moniker would work
(trilema) trinque: hanbot: glibc should already be on there; it is the C standard library most commonly in use on linux
(trilema) hanbot: does anyone have or know where i can get a glibc-static deb package?
(trilema) hanbot: meanwhile glibc-static looks unbuntu-friendly, will report back
(trilema) mircea_popescu: apt-get install gcc libstdc++ gcc-c++ glibc-static
(trilema) ascii_field: yum install gcc libstdc++ gcc-c++ glibc-static
(trilema) mod6: hanbot: ok so to complete your mission. you'll need a x86-64 / glibc linux environment - gentoo is great, others ok probably too.
(trilema) mod6: So in addition to lastnight's script I posted [ pulls down ascii's latest patches (up through -verifyall) and applies them to v0.5.3.1 ], I've got an updated one that i've just tested & worked for me on x86-64 gentoo w/glibc: http://dpaste.com/2F68T3F.txt
(trilema) mod6: oh and there is a new Gentoo guide for nomultilib/glibc -- I created it yesterday & trinque verified as well:
(trilema) mod6: one other thing I gotta do is update the gentoo-uclibc guide to a new guide for nomultilib glibc, should be fairly easy. then test it on my pos box.
(trilema) mod6: gentoo nomultilib glibc: 322021
(trilema) mod6: As far as testing, so far everything seems to be working ok -- i've fully sync'd 1 stator build, and i've got 2 more full sync's running curretly: one gentoo x86-64 w/glibc & one OpenBSD x86-64 w/glibc
(trilema) asciilifeform: btw this is a glibcism!
(trilema) mod6: So over the weekend and today, was working on building a new gentoo-amd64-nomultilib (glibc) instance to test out application of patches with v0.5.3.1-RELEASE as the base. Was able to build static binaries with gentoo & glibc just fine with both a modified auto-static (auto.sh) and with a slightly modified stator.sh script.
(trilema) mod6: in particular, this test will be with vanilla gcc (glibc) and not uclibc. With uclibc, I had to do some extra tweaks: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-06-2015#1160161
(trilema) mircea_popescu: http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html << check out glibc beating the shit out of everyone @strlen and strchr
(trilema) asciilifeform: punkman: it's an interim thing. still need to shoot glibc in the head
(trilema) mod6: except this is with glibc huh
(trilema) trinque: yeah but this is glibc
(trilema) mod6: that btw, was built on x86-64 deb6/glibc env.
(trilema) ascii_field: presently i suspect that 'musl' is the only glibc replacement that has any promise
(trilema) trinque: no glibc and gentoo hardened
(trilema) ascii_field: or ordinary glibc
(trilema) decimation: what I find amusing is that gcc comes with system include files, but 'also depends' on glibc
(trilema) ascii_field: 'hey hey, ho ho,' glibc 'has got to go'
(trilema) decimation: ascii_field: this must be a glibc vs gcc conflict?

(trilema) ascii_field: not really. if you invoke dns at all in a glibc proggy, you get the libnss idiocy
(trilema) ascii_field: which, in practice, requires a whole toolchain built against the custom glibc
(trilema) ascii_field: and apparently the only way to remove it is to build glibc from scratch and link against it
(trilema) ascii_field: thing even builds statically with glibc
(trilema) davout: but it wasn't possible before because of the dynmic dns glibc crap or do i misunderstand something here?
(trilema) mod6: <+asciilifeform> anybody build that thing ? << i did try to build your "stator" tarball from lastnight. i provisioned a new deb6 with glibc/gcc-4.5.4, had some issues, never was able to build whole orchestra. I think its perhaps system related.
(trilema) asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it is coming via glibc
(trilema) asciilifeform: so far, all i learned is that it can - supposedly - be disabled during glibc build config. but this is not what i want
(trilema) mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to answer earlier q : i think for thius purpose (running on dulap etc) static glibc is exactly right.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: you actually managed to get glibc to static ?
(trilema) asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: partial win, it's still built on (static) glibc

If you stripped out all of the DNS stuff and then did a build with gcc/glibc I'm thinkin

(trilema) asciilifeform: (with glibc+static)
(trilema) asciilifeform: but we have a buildable static(glibc) ibmpc build.
(trilema) asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: let me know if you were able to build my 'stator.' and if you think it makes sense to sweat over a uclibc build for ibmpc, where everything ~else~ is sitting on glibc...
(trilema) asciilifeform: note that it is still using conventional glibc
(trilema) mircea_popescu: if this pattern bullshit worked we wouldn't be stuck here with glibc. and that goes exactly to pete_dushenski "wisdom of decisions" thing above too

(trilema) asciilifeform: glibc belongs in woodchipper regardless
(trilema) trinque: older glibc?
(trilema) mircea_popescu: not just from a "must be in there for we need all the dns-carried pores imported via glibc etc", but also in the much lower level "who's in charge of the it!!1" thing
(trilema) trinque: it diddles glibc internal preprocessor flags, so on
(trilema) mircea_popescu: what, like you stopped using glibc ?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: justJanne: have you been following the glibc travails?
(trilema) trinque: mircea_popescu: does seem that we keep encountering the rot of glibc
(trilema) trinque: ben_vulpes: the actual dieharder code uses glibc internals in a way that used to work, now does not due to as yet undiscovered source of rust, with vague indications that compiling with std=c99 has implications for glibc
(trilema) trinque: asciilifeform: turns out dieharder uses internal glibc preprocessor directives which cause it to explode when built as c99

(trilema) mircea_popescu: asciilifeform heh, so far nobody even compiles glibc. go away with your exotic temptations, fair lady.

(trilema) mod6: <+jurov> the libnss was done as binary plugin to glibc << so there is no possible way to just build glibc by hand and not include libnss? or there are basically so many things that use libnss that even if you did, stuff wouldn't work anyway?
(trilema) mod6: <+mircea_popescu> ~whether one even uses libnss or not~! << so even if we didn't even call "whatsMyIP()" or w/e it is, this would still be a dingleberry attached to glibc.
(trilema) mod6: so libnss is dynamically compiled and built/linked to glibc, and can not be avoided?
(trilema) jurov: thus truly statical compilation of glibc is impossbile
(trilema) mod6: ok maybe that's the part I was missing - how libnss is somehow tied to glibc.
(trilema) jurov: the libnss was done as binary plugin to glibc

(trilema) asciilifeform: in other news, #glibc is one of the quietest channels one could imagine short of an entirely dead one.

(trilema) ascii_field: and other things. It's supposed to make application programs independent of the separately configured actual network environment of the machine. A nice idea, but changes to GLIBC can lead to problems loading it. And you can't statically link "libnss", since it is configured for each machine individually.
