[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I was experimenting with creating bootstrap-tarballs for powerpc-linux
and it turns out that 'a.out.h' is no longer in the linux headers.

It works for me though:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages make-bootstrap) %linux-libre-headers-stripped)'
/gnu/store/bz4g5bh2mkihh1w38qg99phlnl7drfv3-linux-libre-headers-stripped-4.19.56

Or is it something you noticed after upgrading ‘linux-libre-headers’?

Thanks,

I can't find the actual package piece to make it happen, but it happens
when building the glibc-stripped:

Oh, got it; the problem shows up only when cross-compiling, it seems.

So I guess you can go ahead and push.  If this ‘a.out’ file turns out to
be needed somewhere during bootstrap, which seems unlikely, we can
always revisit this issue.

Thank you!

Looking at the comment here, which was added by Janneke, I suspect this
header is actually required to build glibc 2.2.5 in commencement.scm.
Did I get it right, Janneke?

If so, perhaps we should reinstate it and simply add a

  when (file-exists? file)

guard before calling ‘install-file’?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
