perl-cross perl-cross 1.5.3 + perl 5.40.0: Build failure while crosscompiling x86

Trying to crosscompile perl 5.40.0 from x86_64-linux-gnu to riscv64-linux-gnu with perl-cross 1.5.3 results in

Native x86_64-linux-gnu builds of perl 5.40.0 compile and work fine on the same box.

Can you post config.log and config.sh from the failing build?

Looks like it mis-detects something about threads on the target.

Jul 04 '24 13:07 arsv

config.log config.sh

Jul 05 '24 18:07 berolinux

Same here from x86_64-linux-gnu to m68k-linux-gnu on Gentoo. 5.38.2 still builds fine, so I don't think it's a Gentoo issue.

Jul 07 '24 14:07 chewi

It seems this is a general issue. Do not apply

cnf/diffs/perl5-5.40.0/xconfig.patch

fix the linker errors for (all?) cross-compilation combinations. Tested with x86_64-linux-gnu to {aarch64,loongarch64,powerpc64le,riscv64}-linux-gnu so far.

s390x then fails with different errors. But this may be an other issue.

Jul 09 '24 08:07 tinomai

That xconfig.h patch must be either applied everywhere, or not applied anywhere (but that would defeat its whole purpose — do at your own risk).

Normally config.h is only included via perl.h, which is patched, but in 5.40, locale.c also includes config.h directly and must be patched as well. Without that, you end up with most of miniperl built using xconfig.h but with locale.c built using config.h instead. And it fails to link then.

Pushed a fix, try it if possible.

Now this issue should be 100% reproducible, but it's not, for me at least, so I might be missing something else.

Jul 09 '24 10:07 arsv

Confirmed that 36279737fc04559c10a2c1017b58ccc1ce59d233 fixes it for me.

Jul 09 '24 12:07 berolinux

Yes, 3627973 fixes all build errors x86_64-linux-gnu to {aarch64,loongarch64,powerpc64le,riscv64,s390x}-linux-gnu which I have seen.

Thank you very much!
