Subject: GCL: segfault on invocation on x86_64 and i686
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2019 09:29:31 +0100

Hello Guix,

GCL segfaults upon execution on x86_64 and i686.  This is most likely
the reason why Maxima fails to build on those architectures [0] [1].

This is what I tried:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

diego <at> GLaDOS ~$ guix build gcl
/gnu/store/5zzfw856c1acrmalsdznm1093mkvnwls-gcl-2.6.12-2.d3335e2

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I also tried building GCL locally to check if this was something
non-deterministic with the same result:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

diego <at> GLaDOS ~$ guix build gcl --check --keep-failed

[...]

GCL works fine on armhf (I did not try it on aarch64).

I run Guix System (commit: 571a01d) on x86_64.

Regards,

Diego

Some additional information:

GCL does not segfault if I get the substitute from hydra (where Maxima
builds successfully).  It does segfault (on the aforementioned
architectures) if I get the substitute from berlin (where Maxima fails
to build) and if I build it locally.

Here is what I have tried (I get the same results when passing
‘--system=i686-linux’ to the build commands):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diego <at> GLaDOS ~$ guix gc --delete $(guix gc --list-dead |grep gcl-2) 

[...]

I have built GCL locally a couple of times and it always segfaults.

My Guix is currently on commit 0bd1498.

Diego

Hi Guix,

I'm closing this bug since it has been fixed a while ago as a side
effect of … something.  I don't know how it was fixed or even if it was
fixed on purpose, but I'm glad it's gone.

Regards,

Diego
