Rebuilding glibc so I get the debug info ...

16 August 2025, 16:12:33

Given the recurring issues with debuginfod (missing the last debug for glibc), I ended up trying to rebuild glibc so I could use valgrind.

I've cloned the glibc packaging from gitea, checkout the last tag and did a makepkg -s

And the build failed:

Code: [Select]

                === Summary of results ===
      1 FAIL
   7036 PASS
     90 UNSUPPORTED
     13 XFAIL
      7 XPASS
make[1]: *** [Makefile:678: tests] Error 1

I've tried again on a different machine (a more powerful, more recent one where I usually develop) and got the exact same result.

It appears the specific test that's failing is intl/tst-gettext

I know I've done that in the past. I've found back the post about it and I was told the correct way to build was:

makepkg --nocheck

Is there a way to make that build without disabling tests?

Code: [Select]

make -O check || true

Then makepkg should continue and you can check your log afterwards and decide what to do.
