pete_dushenski: sorry, trb sans glibc on netbsd, to be more precise

jurov: last time i binge read glibc info, it ended on strfry
asciilifeform: IT WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE GLIBC
asciilifeform: at one time there was a '3' - glibc-free, static, rom-burnable bitcoind. but we have it now.
assbot: Logged on 19-09-2015 22:55:01; phf: presumably it's either glibc and small binaries or no glibc and the entire stdlib attached to the thing. ocaml at least doesn't do any sort of "tree shaking"

phf: also no re glibc-less binaries
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-09-2015#1279859 << ever got mlton or smlnj, or mosml, to build glibc-less binaries ? ☝︎
kakobrekla: > It's up to glibc to return it to the kernel and it is poor at that. < ahhh
mod6: So Shinohai and I just got done testing my TEST2 bundle with rotor script. We've built successfully on: Gentoo/glibc, Ubuntu 10.04, Debian 6 and Debian 8 :: All x86_64
mod6: was a gentoo/glibc environement -- compiled buildroot with the musl settings. didn't change anything to the "rotor" steps execept for adding the change to BDB configure options in trinque's message.
mircea_popescu: doing what, glibc gentoo ?
ascii_field: to get out of glibc !
shinohai is now seeing why ascii_field hates glibc so much
ascii_field: death to glibc.
assbot: glibc steering committee dissolving ... ( http://bit.ly/1K5UcJ3 )
BingoBoingo: "Note that the status of the bug was changed from "RESOLVED INVALID" to "RESOLVED FIXED" in 2014-03-20. Probably because as well as I know Ulrich currently doesn't work in Red Hat and doesn't have any commit access. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.glibc.alpha/19088"
BingoBoingo: Cars fuckign cars, cats and dogs getting along. Drepper really did beat Linus on Glibc didn't he.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: you just described glibc, l0l
asciilifeform: the main allure, for me, was 1) drepper goes to the furnace where he belongs; no glibc 2) can switch cpu arch by turning a knob
mircea_popescu: "early experiments show that statically linked binaries are usually smaller than their dynamically linked glibc counterparts!!!"
assbot: 142 results for 'glibc' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=glibc
ascii_field: !s glibc
ascii_field: phf: i determined, some months ago, that glibc is evil. and decided to abolish it from bitcoin.
mod6: i built mine on a gentoo/nomultilib/glibc x86-64 host
ascii_field: mod6: it uses buildroot to generate a gcc and binutils clean of glibc
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: what's the difference between musl and glibc?
ascii_field: can't use glibc toolchain to build binaries with musl
ascii_field: the binary is a full MB smaller than glibc stator, too
ascii_field: http://dpaste.com/16FR22R.txt << l00k ma, no glibc
asciilifeform unzips, pisses on the grave of glibc
mod6: yeah, trinque. I got the same error [this is on, gentoo/nomultilib/glibc built on 20150713]: http://dpaste.com/27S67FQ.txt
trinque: mod6: gentoo hardened glibc amd64
mod6: what type of environment did you build on? im building mine on [gentoo/nomultilib/glibc]
mod6: my plan for tonight is to put out the bitcoin-v0_5_4-TEST1.tar.gz bundle to the ML tonight if possible. This is a pre-patched tarball of all of ascii's patches (and one of my fixes) up through verifyall. Should work only on x86-64 deb6/ubuntu 14.04/gentoo nomultilib glibc - if anyone wants to help test.
mod6: I was able to build on deb6/gentoo nomultilib glibc/and ubuntu 14.04 just fine. On ubuntu, my problem was missing realpath. DEERP.
hanbot: package names should be the same, yeah. only package i haven't been able to find in .deb form is glibc-static, see http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-07-2015#1210151 ☝︎
mod6: so I had this build that i created on the 13th: 20150713-v0531-patched-glibc-gentoo-statorBuildScript
mod6: it was: gentoo x86-64 glibc: v0.5.3.1+{ these patches in this order: http://dpaste.com/1CSFS1A.txt } built with stator build script. connected to: 195.211.154.159:8333 running with verifyall - ran great up until a few days back. we discussed this.
assbot: Logged on 23-07-2015 01:20:23; mod6: my one gentoo (all ascii's patches through verifyall x86-64/glibc) build got all the way up to where nsl is wedged. but my openbsd one is crawling along on verify all also... so far: height=220047
assbot: Logged on 22-07-2015 19:26:16; ascii_field: yum install gcc libstdc++ gcc-c++ glibc-static

hanbot: if glibc on its own is insufficent tho, i have little faith libc6-dev without the -static moniker would work
trinque: hanbot: glibc should already be on there; it is the C standard library most commonly in use on linux
hanbot: does anyone have or know where i can get a glibc-static deb package?
hanbot: meanwhile glibc-static looks unbuntu-friendly, will report back
mircea_popescu: apt-get install gcc libstdc++ gcc-c++ glibc-static
ascii_field: yum install gcc libstdc++ gcc-c++ glibc-static ☟︎
mod6: hanbot: ok so to complete your mission. you'll need a x86-64 / glibc linux environment - gentoo is great, others ok probably too.
mod6: So in addition to lastnight's script I posted [ pulls down ascii's latest patches (up through -verifyall) and applies them to v0.5.3.1 ], I've got an updated one that i've just tested & worked for me on x86-64 gentoo w/glibc: http://dpaste.com/2F68T3F.txt
mod6: oh and there is a new Gentoo guide for nomultilib/glibc -- I created it yesterday & trinque verified as well:
mod6: one other thing I gotta do is update the gentoo-uclibc guide to a new guide for nomultilib glibc, should be fairly easy. then test it on my pos box.
mod6: gentoo nomultilib glibc: 322021
mod6: As far as testing, so far everything seems to be working ok -- i've fully sync'd 1 stator build, and i've got 2 more full sync's running curretly: one gentoo x86-64 w/glibc & one OpenBSD x86-64 w/glibc
mod6: http://thebitcoin.foundation/misc/gentoo-amd64-nomultilib-glibc-20150713-statorBuildScript-buildlog.txt
mod6: http://thebitcoin.foundation/misc/gentoo-amd64-nomultilib-glibc-20150713-AutoStaticv006-buildlog.txt
mod6: So over the weekend and today, was working on building a new gentoo-amd64-nomultilib (glibc) instance to test out application of patches with v0.5.3.1-RELEASE as the base. Was able to build static binaries with gentoo & glibc just fine with both a modified auto-static (auto.sh) and with a slightly modified stator.sh script.
mod6: in particular, this test will be with vanilla gcc (glibc) and not uclibc. With uclibc, I had to do some extra tweaks: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-06-2015#1160161 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html << check out glibc beating the shit out of everyone @strlen and strchr
asciilifeform: punkman: it's an interim thing. still need to shoot glibc in the head
mod6: except this is with glibc huh
trinque: yeah but this is glibc
mod6: that btw, was built on x86-64 deb6/glibc env.
ascii_field: presently i suspect that 'musl' is the only glibc replacement that has any promise
trinque: no glibc and gentoo hardened
ascii_field: or ordinary glibc
decimation: what I find amusing is that gcc comes with system include files, but 'also depends' on glibc
ascii_field: 'hey hey, ho ho,' glibc 'has got to go'
decimation: ascii_field: this must be a glibc vs gcc conflict?

ascii_field: not really. if you invoke dns at all in a glibc proggy, you get the libnss idiocy
ascii_field: which, in practice, requires a whole toolchain built against the custom glibc
ascii_field: and apparently the only way to remove it is to build glibc from scratch and link against it
ascii_field: thing even builds statically with glibc
davout: but it wasn't possible before because of the dynmic dns glibc crap or do i misunderstand something here?
mod6: <+asciilifeform> anybody build that thing ? << i did try to build your "stator" tarball from lastnight. i provisioned a new deb6 with glibc/gcc-4.5.4, had some issues, never was able to build whole orchestra. I think its perhaps system related.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it is coming via glibc
asciilifeform: so far, all i learned is that it can - supposedly - be disabled during glibc build config. but this is not what i want
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to answer earlier q : i think for thius purpose (running on dulap etc) static glibc is exactly right.
mircea_popescu: you actually managed to get glibc to static ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: partial win, it's still built on (static) glibc
mod6: If you stripped out all of the DNS stuff and then did a build with gcc/glibc I'm thinking that would get us where we want to be; sounds like you've done that!
mod6: <+asciilifeform> now what i can't remember is whether mod6 already had this orchestra working <+asciilifeform> (with glibc+static) << v0.5.3.1-RELEASE basically is not true "static" build because of the gethostbyname() (DNS/libnss) calls in there. but was trying to build static bitcoind with uclibc/gcc on gentoo, was hitting a problem described here before. If you stripped out all of the DNS stuff and then did a build with gcc/glibc I'm thinkin
mircea_popescu: fully expecting he will have to install vanrish, uninstall alsa, recompile the kernel and fix glibc.
asciilifeform: afaik can't do dns at all with static glibc
asciilifeform: (with glibc+static)
asciilifeform: but we have a buildable static(glibc) ibmpc build.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: let me know if you were able to build my 'stator.' and if you think it makes sense to sweat over a uclibc build for ibmpc, where everything ~else~ is sitting on glibc...
asciilifeform: note that it is still using conventional glibc
mircea_popescu: if this pattern bullshit worked we wouldn't be stuck here with glibc. and that goes exactly to pete_dushenski "wisdom of decisions" thing above too
