gcc-static is unnecessarily rebuilt each time make is invoked due to an incorrect filename extension in the Makefile target definition. Patch follows:

We need to be sure we build python (generic native build) with shm mounted.

We are facing a problem while building icu port:

Looks like there is a compile bug that’s been open since 2005 for arm platforms: http://sourceforge.net/p/libcgi/bugs/6/

Patching the string.c file and compiling fixes the package. We might want to fix it since upstream is unresponsive.

Currently with default efikamx rootfs i get an illegal instruction fail (efikamx smartbook):

It’s nice to be able to gzip modules to save space. Can –with-zlib please be added to kmod? I have it working well with my setup but it would be nice if this was mainlined.

Thanks!

Current libgmp version 5.0.5 fails with assembler error.

The problem is located on upstream Pkgfile which forces the build for i686.
[...]
tmp-add_n.s: Assembler messages:
tmp-add_n.s:79: Error: bad instruction `xor %edx,%edx’ [...]

From the original Pkgfile, it specifies:
–build=i686-pc-linux-gnu

Solution:
- Use current build vars for both ABI’s:
- softfp: –build=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi

There is a good explanation of the problem in this thread:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/02/msg00196.html (Fun with libtool and cross-builds)

We can reproduce that problem when building crossrootfs on a x86_64 host. Our final target is arm 32bits so we can’t link against non-32bits objects, and that is for what we didn’t detect issues when building crossrootfs on a x86 host.
I’m not happy with this situation.

We can see that overlays aren’t providing the right version for pkgutils.

In ports/core-arm we can see version 5.35.5 and in the overlays we see version 5.35.3.

Waiting comments to see what to do (not many differences between those versions but IMHO they should be fixed in overlays).
