Description Richard Purdie 2018-12-20 12:03:16 UTC

When removing gcc-cross-initial, it was found that the indirect function (ifunc) tests in glibc were failing for mips. This means glibc on mips wasn't built with ifunc support. After the gcc/glibc bootstrap changes, the test passed in configure but generated libbfs assertion failures during compile of glibc for qemumips. We worked around it by disabling ifunc on mips in the glibc recipe until we can figure out what is going wrong.

on mips stb 

we get this error

: crt1.o: undefined reference to symbol '_gp'

is this the same problem ?

Comment 2 akuster 2020-08-20 08:13:26 UTC

is this an issue for current master? its been a few years now.

Comment 3 Randy MacLeod 2023-10-24 14:24:19 UTC

Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99

Comment 4 Tim Orling 2025-10-30 15:12:25 UTC

We are unlikely to have any new development on MIPS platforms.
