Hi,

I am trying to create a Docker image of Alpine targeting s390x architecture.

Natanael suggested me Timo's previous work at : http://dev.alpinelinux.org/~tteras/bootstrap/ to bootstrap Alpine on new arch.

I have 2 questions related to this, hope you could shed some light.

Q1:
Running createcross-toolchain.sh, at step 5, building gcc pass 2 : (experimenting with targeting x86)

    $ ABUILD_CONF=$ABUILD_CREATECROSS_CONF BOOTSTRAP=nolibc CTARGET_LIBC=musl abuild -r || return 1
(this makes sure --disable-shared is passed to configure script)

Then at step 6, it introduces a conflict between host's gcc and newly installed/built gcc-pass2-$CTARGET

ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:
    gcc-5.3.0-r0:
        conflicts: gcc-pass2-i486-alpine-linux-musl-5.2.0-r0[so:libcc1.so.0=0.0.0]
        satisfies: g++-5.3.0-r0[gcc=5.3.0-r0] build-base-0.4-r1[gcc]
    gcc-pass2-i486-alpine-linux-musl-5.2.0-r0:
        conflicts: gcc-5.3.0-r0[so:libcc1.so.0=0.0.0]
        satisfies: world[gcc-pass2-i486-alpine-linux-musl]

How could I solve this? Should I build gcc-pass-2 with different prefix than /usr/ to avoid conflict dynamic libs? If I do so, will it be any different than a manually/traditionally built cross-toolchain ? (mentioned below)


Q2:
I have built a cross toolchains targeting s390x (gcc, musl, binutils, busybox, apk-tools), based on Gregor Richards's musl-cross with some patches.
If I specifies this cross toolchains in the crossbuild-alpine-bootstrap.sh , rather than doing
    ${SUDO_APK} --repository $REPODEST_HOST/main add gcc-$CTARGET g++-$CTARGET gcc-gnat-$CTARGET || return 1

then will there be any differences ? I have not try this (havent have cross-built gnat yet) and just want to know what you think about it.

Thank you,
Tuan

I was not aware of a Musl s390x port, is there one?

Sounds like your aports is from edge, but you are running 3.3 or 3.2
stable alpine. Then the gcc versions do not match, and you get this.

It's probably ok for gcc/g++ part, but you are right, Ada might be
problem for full bootstrap.

As heads up: I'm currently looking at gcc 6.1; and also bootstrapping
armv7. I have already some changes coming up for gcc/musl and some
other packages for fixing bootstrapping. But seems there's been some
bitrot since last bootstrap (for armhf some years ago) and the scripts
need fixing.

Cheers,
Timo

I am on v3.4 with gcc5.3-r0. Tried gcc5.3-r0 APKBUILD file but the same problem.
 
>From what I understand your gcc-pass-2 and gcc-final are actually gcc-pass-1 and gcc-pass-2 in traditional way : 
    1. build gcc-pass-1 and binutils using host (x86_64) 's gcc+libc targeting new target (x86). 
    2. use that gcc-pass-1 to build new target's libc. 
    3. build gcc-pass-2 using new libc
(please correct me if I am wrong)
So, after building gcc-pass-2 (step 1 above) in the script, we install it in the host system then use it to build musl targeting new target (step 2 above). But if you install gcc-pass-2 in the host system at /usr/, it will produce my conflicts problem. In the traditional way, we just pass something like CROSS_COMPILE=i486-linux-musl- when running musl's configure script. This is why I suggested install gcc-pass-2 into different prefix so it won't conflict with the host's gcc. Just wonder how did you do last time.

I did try to delete host's gcc to install only gcc-pass-2 but building musl requires build-base package and in turn requires host's gcc).

I also suspect that Alpine has involved a lot since 2013 and your scripts might be outdated to current aports system. Would you mind sharing your current/working bootstrap on present aports system?

Thanks,
Tuan

Well, upon in the beginning it was 3 pass. You need pass 1 to build gcc
without libc. Then you could build glibc headers. Then you build gcc
pass 2 with glibc headers so it targets right c-library, and you can
build full glibc. Finally you can build the final gcc as pass 3. Maybe
this was simplified too.

Seems there was bitrot in the cross building support. abuild was
improved, and upstream packaged changed.

I made same fixes to various places now. And will push all aports
changes today/tomorrow. After gcc 6.1 is done.

I'm playing with armv7 target, and got:
 - full cross complier done (createcross-toolchain.sh runs)
 - cross building boot image works up to building openssl; seems
   something changed upstream and needs fixing

I hope to get the scripts / aports' minimal cross-building support to
the point that bootstrapping works again.

/Timo

I pushed all of my aports changed now, and copied slightly modified
bootstrap scripts out.

On edge host, with edge aports, and abuild from git (needed one minor
fix); I managed to bootstrap armv7 from x86_64 host now.

mkinitfs is not cross-compilable at the moment yet. But basically the
script should mostly work now.

Would you mind sharing your building log ? I just need to make sure my steps are correct.
Thank you.

Hi,

I have successfully built armv7 cross-toolchain using createcross-toolchain.sh.

About crossbuild-alpine-bootstrap.sh, I have 2 questions:

1. At cross-building busybox (in the for loop), there was an error of missing linux/kd.h header, even though /usr/include/linux/kd.h is present in my Alpine build machine. So I have to install the newly cross-built linux-headers package from previous loop, like this:

How about your procedures?

2. At cross-building binutils step, I have the error : 

./a.out: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

I checked the configure log (http://pastebin.com/t9QS9DZZ) and it looks like the build, host, target machines are all 'armv7-alpine-linux-muslgnueabihf', which is incorrect I guess. I think the build machine should be 'x86_64-alpine-linux-musl' because we are using a cross-compiler running on x86_64 targeting armv7. So from its point of view, the build machine is x86_64, it builds program to run on host machine (armv7), and I am not really sure what to pass as target machine, maybe armv7 too.

If I try to pass to binutils configure script with '--build=x86_64-alpine-linux-musl --host=armv7-alpine-linux-muslgnueabihf --target=armv7-alpine-linux-muslgnueabihf ' then it configure and build just fine.

Doing the same strategy with make, it failed.

What do you think ?

3. I am curious about CBUILD variable. Where is it defined? Can't find in your script nor (any) APKBUILD nor APKBUILD reference documentation/webpage. In cross-building binutils case, it is set to 'armv7-alpine-linux-muslgnueabihf', same as CHOST.

By the way, your work is beautiful.
Thank you.

busybox apkbuild has:
makedepends_host="linux-headers"

So when cross building abuild should have automatically installed this
for you. It does it for me.

Sounds like you figured out the root of the problem. CBUILD needs to be
the build host's triplet, or things will not work.

Usually it is configured in /etc/abuild.conf, and that's what my
scripts expect. E.g. my abuild-crossbuild-armv7.conf has:
  # inherit CBUILD, and other basic defines
  source /etc/abuild.conf

It expects CBUILD=<system triplet> to be in /etc/abuild.conf.

This is also used by abuild to deduce if cross building or not, and
probably caused the problem #1 too.

See above.

Thank you.

We managed to bootstrap aarch64 recently. We have it running on qemu
and on real hw too. I believe when it comes up, it could be used for
aarch64 and possibly armv7 builds.

Problem 1 : (to keeptrack easier)
This is the content of my /etc/abuild.conf : http://pastebin.com/Pq6vYpvD
So strange that there is no trace of CBUILD variable, even CARCH, CTARGET_ARCH. I keep getting CARCH=unknown error. Then I made some modification as in : https://github.com/tmh1999/alpine-bootstrap-s390x/commit/2aadde7982a9ba679bd01734705321d9dde76d97

AFAIK, CARCH is the build machine architecture (x86_64) and you get it by running $ abuild -A. But in my modification, it is armv7.

Sounds great !


Question 1 :
Until now, I also have successfully built a cross-compiler targeting s390x architecture, with above modification to the script and few more modification in aports/main/gcc/APKBUILD and aports/main/musl/APKBUILD files ( I use the experimental s390x port of musl ). I know this is not your problem but I would like to ask you since you are more experienced in this problem than me :)

This is the modification I made to aports/main/gcc/APKBUILD file :

Question 2:

So when you started porting armv7 and aarch, which files in the aports tree you had to make changes ? Theoretically I can check in the git log but that would be a lot, I think :(

Thank you.

My scripts expect that you add CBUILD there. Though it's trivial to get
it from $(gcc -dumpmachine), I think that should be added to abuild.
I'll probably do that soon. I think most of the environment variables
set the cross .conf files should in fact be set in abuild already. I'll
look in to doing that as well.

Though, we are currently looking into improving the build system a bit
more to support cross-building better, including supporting it directly
from abuild command line and building things automatically in chroot.
This needs a bit of design, but is on the way.

abuild will deduce CARCH from CHOST. You need to add s390x support to
abuild. See commit:

The lib64 is gcc default, and on x86_64 and aarch64 it's similar. We
patch the lib location for these architectures, see:
http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/tree/main/gcc/gcc-pure64.patch

You probably need to add similar change for gcc/config/s390/t-linux64.

Not too many. You probably need (aarch64 commit referred):

- abuild to recognize the triplet (the commit refferred earlier)
  http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/abuild/commit/?id=580dd46c588ef71bc852d2b9a5bb4426a2c47665
  
- apk-tools to use the same arch name
  http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/apk-tools/commit/?id=06ae5fdfdccd0c8e6d5501d93666bd915d2604d1

- gcc to be configured correct for the arch
  http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/commit/main/gcc?id=db1d2c069e66b3bf9962d76b0b48bfdcfc8d0384
  (the ada change is generic, you'll need the _arch_configure +
   gcc-pure64.patch update)

And update APKBUILDs for the packages that are arch aware; for
minimal bootstrap it includes:

- linux-headers
  http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/commit/?id=f483f49692b97950b680d987fe31f8ddb9277842

- openssl
  http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/commit/?id=896f06e3b0b07200957d0389e2156d0ee4e099cb

- linux-vanilla (or the kernel you need, including creating kernel configuration)
  http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/commit/?id=baa04a75170112f9713dd5ad72a5732f9bfaeaac

Some packages might also need other kind of patching, e.g. if configure
does not recognize the new triplet.

Cheers,
Timo

For some commands, running without CBUILD being set is okay, some are not. I cannot remember which is which but If I see them again, I will tell you.

This one is very helpful. I had to set CARCH to some commands around for a while even though I do *guess* it should be deduced from CHOST, by reading /usr/bin/abuild.

It's much easier to have some existed work to follow. I have patched some APKBUILD myself along the way (gcc, musl, apk-tools, libfetch, openssl ...) and it is kind of painful, when you are new to Alpine. I will use your work and suggestion and come back after few days.

Thank you so much, Timo.

I just pushed few commits to abuild, that set CBUILD by default
properly. It also fixes dependency installation for host/target to not
run scripts, that would become error later on the build process too.

Please try latest abuild git version if it helps.

I actually want first fix cross building to be supported properly. So
just doing "CHOST=aarch64 abuild -r" would to cross-compile aarch64
version of package on any build system.

I have first patch ready for this that makes all the cross-compile
script config entries built-in to abuild.

The second patch is make abuild properly aware of subpkg's arch. This
is tricky since when make cross toolchain we are generating packages
for the host and the target. But I got this almost done.

The above two will greatly simplify the bootstrap scripts, which I'll
probably dump to aports along with instructions. We've been getting lot
of questions for bootstrapping recently...

Could you share what target triplet you are using? And what CARCH? I'll
be happy to push these to abuild early, even if everything is not
working.

Understand. Porting things to new systems is usually not easy. It's
often done by few people only and the documentation is scarce.

This thread has been useful also for us to understand what questions
come across. I'll probably collect things from here and dump them to
the readme along with the enhanced bootstrap scripts.

Thanks,
Timo

Target triplet : s390x-alpine-linux-musl
CARCH : s390x (but for linux-headers, it is s390)

Fortunately, I have successfully run crossbuild-bootstrap targeting s390x, but I need to remove paxmark lines in gcc's APKBUILD as it returns an unknown error (creat-cross runs just fine). AFAIK, it is about security concerns, not system's functionality, so for now I guess it is okay. What do you think?

When I try either to (1) install newly cross-built packages into the sysroot-s390x-alpine-linux-musl/ in the build machine or (2) install Alpine in a chroot in the target device using packages from packages-s390x-alpine-linux-musl/main/s390x/ , they both generate following error: http://pastebin.com/WDJyCaxT. Any chance this thing comes from removing paxmark ? I try to pass --verbose to apk-build but cannot see any change. How did you manage to bootstrap on the real target device?

Hum.. That looks quite complicated. Will definitely come back to this afterwards.

Target triplet : s390x-alpine-linux-musl 
CARCH : s390x (but for linux-headers, it is s390) 

1) Fortunately, I have successfully run crossbuild script targeting s390x with following :

a) After running creat-cross script, my sysroot's lib directory looks like this:

edge2:~/s390x/$ ls -al sysroot-s390x-alpine-linux-musl/lib
total 12
drwxr-sr-x    3 root     edge          4096 Jul 26 12:54 .
drwxr-sr-x    8 edge     edge          4096 Jul 26 12:54 ..
drwxr-sr-x    3 root     edge          4096 Jul 26 12:54 apk
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            25 Jul 26 12:54 ld-musl-s390x.so.1 -> /lib/libc.musl-s390x.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            18 Jul 26 12:54 libc.musl-s390x.so.1 -> ld-musl-s390x.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            25 Jul 26 12:54 libc.so.6 -> /lib/libc.musl-s390x.so.1

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            25 Jul 26 12:54 libpthread.so.0 -> /lib/libc.musl-s390x.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            25 Jul 26 12:54 librt.so.1 -> /lib/libc.musl-s390x.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            25 Jul 26 12:54 libutil.so.1 -> /lib/libc.musl-s390x.so.1

Both ld-musl-s390x.so.1 and /lib/libc.musl-s390x.so.1 do not exist, so all of above are broken links. Then I have to do some thing like this:

edge2:~/s390x$ abuild-apk --root /home/edge/s390x/sysroot-s390x-alpine-linux-musl add /home/edge/s390x/packages-s390x-alpine-linux-musl/main/s390x/musl-1.1.15-r0.apk
(1/1) Replacing musl (1.1.15-r0 -> 1.1.15-r0)
OK: 23 MiB in 6 packages

And then new layout looks like:

edge2:~/s390x/sysroot-s390x-alpine-linux-musl/lib$ ls -al
total 3892
drwxr-sr-x    3 root     edge          4096 Jul 26 13:42 .
drwxr-sr-x    8 edge     edge          4096 Jul 26 12:54 ..
drwxr-sr-x    3 root     edge          4096 Jul 26 12:54 apk

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            25 Jul 26 12:54 libc.so.6 -> /lib/libc.musl-s390x.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            25 Jul 26 12:54 libcrypt.so.1 -> /lib/libc.musl-s390x.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            25 Jul 26 12:54 libm.so.6 -> /lib/libc.musl-s390x.so.1

If I don't do so, later crossbuild process will fail. Please check https://github.com/tmh1999/alpine-bootstrap-s390x for my latest scripts/config.

b) Then I run crossbuild script, and I need remove paxmark lines in gcc's APKBUILD as it returns an unknown error (while creat-cross script runs just fine). AFAIK, it is about security concerns, not system's functionality, so for now I guess it is okay.


2) After 1b) is good, I try either to (*) install newly cross-built packages into the sysroot-s390x-alpine-linux-musl/ in the build machine or (**) install Alpine in a chroot in the target device using packages from packages-s390x-alpine-linux-musl/main/s390x/ , they both generate following error: http://pastebin.com/WDJyCaxT. Any chance this thing comes from removing paxmark in 1b) and create-cross build error in 1a) ? I try to pass --verbose to apk-build but cannot see any change. How did you manage to bootstrap on the real target device?

I'm working on fixing the abuild to be cross-build aware, and bundling
the bootstrap script as part of aports.git. I expect to publish all of
this work later today or tomorrow.

The abuild specific parts are pushed out to:
http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/abuild/log/?h=cross-build

Thanks. Added this to the cross-build branch of abuild.

Thanks, I believe this should be fixed in the new bootstrap.sh.

You seem to have some patches there. Would you like to send them as git
formatted commits, so you get your name as author of the commit?

Your kernel is probably built without XATTR support. paxmark requires
XATTR enabled kernel.

Add --no-scripts so it won't try to execute foreign binaries. Though,
if you want to build a boot image from that, additional fixups are
likely needed. I hope to rewamp the boot image creation scripts
(alpine-iso.git) as set of scripts bundled in aports.git/scripts after
cross build fixes.

The abuild changes are complicated. The new bootstrap.sh is clean and
simplified. You'll love it :)

The scripts/bootstrap.sh + new abuild (cross-build branch) commits look much cleaner.

I still have this problem with newbootstrap.sh and do the above workaround. Trying to find the cause of this.

I would love to. But for now musl commits might not be clean since I need to fetch musl.tar.gz from my github repo (which I packaged from : https://github.com/koorogi/musl/tree/s390x ). In order to have it as clean as current musl APKBUILD, we need to wait until s390x is officially merged, which takes quite a time. Other commits are cool and I will submit in 1 day or 2. Need to read the Alpine contribution guide first.

I am trying to read abuild source code and understand its mechanism. Love to get along.

Hi,

I am sorry for a (very) long time break on this topic. Guess this time I
would finally help make Alpine support s390x.

I guess my x86_64 machine running grsec kernel (linux-grsec package) is
XATTR-enabled. I looked a little bit closer on the build log and see
this : http://sprunge.us/EIVE. When I try to run those $ paxctl
manually (code from /usr/sbin/paxmark), they just pass alright
with no output on stdout nor stderr. I also tried adding
--enable-xattr-support to configure script in gcc APKBUILD, but it won't
help. What do you think ?


Another problem I am having is when cross-compiling linux-vanilla
package using aports/scripts/bootstrap.sh : http://sprunge.us/AAcA. I
am reading abuild source code to find the cause but still nothing new.
It'd be nice if you help me to have a look.

Thanks,
Tuan

The kernel should be xattr enabled. What filesystem are you using?
Perhaps there's some filesystem level knob (kernel config) or
limitation.

Bootstrap script was not yet updated for libressl change. I'll take a
look at this. I think the only change needed is to build libressl
instead of openssl. I'll push fix for this soon.

Actually this occurred to me before libress was adopted. After libressl
was introduced, I also changed Bootstrap script, libressl APKBUILD,
kernel config to adop libressl too, but still the bug. So I guess it's
more likely coming from abuild. Here are some of my patches, in case
you might want to have a look.

IIRC, if it's grsec kernel, you don't even need the user_xattr mount
option as grsec kernel treats those xattrs specially.

Of course grsec does not support s390x so the markings are not really
needed for vanilla kernel. However would be good to figure out so we
get the build right from beginning.

You could try strace the attr command and see where it fails.

I would be happy to pick up some of these patches already now. Would
you be able to give them exported with "git format-patch" so you get
annotated as author and the commit log is preserved.

I could try bootstrap s390 too then and see if the same problem happens
and analyze it a bit more.

In any case I recently fixed the bootstrap script and few aports. I was
able to bootstrap again git master for armv7.

Cheers,
Timo

I see that you didn't provide linux-grsec/config-grsec.aarch64. grsec
does not support aarch64 neither? I have read some grsec patch and it
looks like they do provide some s390/s390x patch like this one :
http://dev.alpinelinux.org/~ncopa/grsec/grsecurity-3.1-4.4.32-201604252206-alpine.patch
I am not sure is this called "supported".

Actually according to the log above, $ paxctl are those failed (ret=1).
I will try to strace them this week.

Please find my patches in the attachments. There were some small
changes that I did not include in those patches because I think it only
(temporarily) affects my build. So I list here fyi:
- scripts/bootstrap.sh : linux-headers & zlib-dev need to be explicitly
  installed (besides fortify-headers, libc-dev, build-base) even though
  linux-headers is zlib's makedends, zlib-dev is binutils's makedepends.

If there was any problem, please kindly let me know.

Cheers,
Tuan

Yes, aarch64 is not supported to my knowledge.

But indeed there seems to be s390 support in grsec. Feel free to look
at it, and enable a grsec config for it.

Ok.

I applied apk-tools patch to both aports, and apk-tools git. I also
took parts of aports/gcc patch (the s390 specific config).
linux-headers patch was applied as is.

I'm still looking at the rest of the patches. Here's my review thoughts
of them:

- aports/gcc, moving the libgcc_s.so symlink is probably not the right
  solution. We prefer to keep that in the main 'gcc' package. During
  cross-build it should work so that the 'gcc-s390x' cross-build
  package has this in usr/s390x-alpine-linux-musl/lib/libgcc_s.so. Now
  it breaks because on other arch's this is in reality a linker script
  and not a symlink. The linker script enables gcc to search for the
  right file from all of the libpath again. But s390 is having it as
  symlink, and breaks because the actual file is relocated to the
  sysroot. I am not fully sure what to do here. I might lean on just
  overwriting the cross compiler's libgcc_s.so to be a while with
  contents:
  GROUP ( libgcc_s.so.1 -lgcc )

  I'll think about it a bit more, and can push a fix later today for it.

- aports/linux-vanilla looks good. Though you probably just got the
  kernel config from some other linux distro? It would probably be good
  to cross-check that with other Alpine's linux-vanilla configs to see
  that it is more or less in harmony.

- aports/musl looks mostly ok. We hope musl would soon make release,
  and much of the patch is not needed then as it's mostly upstreamed
  now. There's one issue that's causing some of your trouble. The
  following hunk is wrong:

@@ -142,6 +146,7 @@ compat() {
 	mips*) _ld="ld.so.1" ;;
+	s390*) _ld="ld-musl-s390x.so.1" ;;

  The compat package is supposed to create symlinks that mimic glibc
  provided ld and libraries. The _ld var needs to be setup to be the
  glibc ld name, not the musl one. Looking at gcc, the proper thing
  here to do is:
-       mips*) _ld="ld.so.1" ;;
+       mips* | s390*) _ld="ld.so.1" ;;

- In main/libressl you add --disable-asm? Why is this needed?
  It seemed to compile just fine without this flag. If really needed,
  this should be made conditional so that it's only applied for s390.

- The bootstrap script changes should not be needed after the above
  fixes.

Thanks for working on this! It's starting to look pretty good, and with
the few tweaks above and after musl release, I think we are good to
commit all of the required changes.

Cheers,
Timo

I have done some work on it. You can find for reference here :

Yep this is old flag. Now it is obsolete.

Btw, fyi, 31 support of s390 architecture has been dropped, now it's
all s390x (64 bit version of s390) for all packages, except in linux
kernel, the name still remains s390.
https://github.com/dbussink/linux/commit/5a79859ae0f35d25c67a03e82bf0c80592f16a39

I am currently having two issues, hope you can take some time to see it.

1. I was running Alpine s390x in Docker with some essential
cross-compiled packages targeting s390x, in order to compile natively
the toolchains. It all boils down to missing perl package as
compile-time dependency. Perl cannot be cross-compiled, yet is needed
for native compile. When I try to compile perl natively (inside either
Docker or a chroot), I had segmentation fault on running fakeroot.

Just wonder if this is the correct way you did and segmentation fault
is only my thing.


2. I was having an error when building linux-vanilla-dev ( with above
kernel config ). When running $ make in dev() in APKBUILD, HOSTCC
compiles some scripts in "$srcdir"/linux-$_kernver/scripts directory
into host arch (x86_64) object/exec files. These files were later get
copied into "$subpkgdir"/usr/src/linux-headers-${_abi_release}
(aports/main/linux-vanilla/pkg/linux-vanilla-dev/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.34).
Then libc.musl-x86_64.so.1 comes up in as a needed .so file in later
steps (scan_shared_objects() function). This happens for
linux-vanilla-dev package, while bootstraping both aarch64, and s390x
using aports master.

Yes, we also native build perl. It's a pain to cross-compile.

If fakeroot segfaults you'll end up in trouble sooner or later. It'd be
good to fix that. Do you have strace or gdb backtrace of the crash?

This is tricky. Should the -dev package be built for the target or for
the build host. When cross-compiling it should probably be built for
the build host. Because it will probably be used to build the modules
too. Maybe the following change in linux-vanilla will fix it:
-subpackages="$pkgname-dev"
+subpackages="$pkgname-dev::$CBUILD_ARCH"

Cheers,
Timo

That is what we are doing with ppc64le also. We just cross-compiled the
minimum set of packages to be able to run abuild inside the chroot, and then,
(re)build everything natively.

Cross-compiling strace and gdb requires 'linux-headers'
installed in $CBUILDROOT. strace is cool but gdb still fails
for me with following errors :

elf_gregset_t and elf_fpregset_t were supposed to be defined in
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/s390/include/asm/elf.h
and I think it should be built in 'linux-headers', but no trace of them.

This indeed fixes it and makes linux-vanilla-dev a HOST's package.

Should fix strace APKBUILD to support cross-compilation using the
makedepends_host as used in other cross-compile enabled packages.

Strange. Sounds like a bug somewhere.

Ok, I'll probably commit that to the relevant kernel packages then.

Thanks.

Thanks, it's very neat.

Indeed. It was a musl bug, and with some patches, gdb is good now. Looks
like /usr/lib/libfakeroot.so is the one causes the segfault. Is there
any option in abuild to build package with out being stripped? I would
like to do so then debug fakeroot better. Adding -DDEBUG or -g in
CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS in APKBUILD doesn't help.

I am not sure the strace would be informative for you :

Ok. Good, perhaps you can submit them upstream to musl?

DEBUG=yes abuild

or 

add "$pkgname-dbg" to subpackages, and a separate -dbg package is
created with the debug information.

Unfortunately, this does not immediately reveal anything additional.
Getting gdb backtrace should help.

Thanks,
