Description Jiajun Xu 2012-06-06 01:27:15 UTC 
tree/branch: poky/master
commit: 348da93e283b2b8454fd9cde80d4b17378e2a168

With latest commit, gcc-4.7 will report do_compile failure with error that "sys/sdt.h: No such file or directory". The error is caused by that the host system has systemtap-sdt-devel installed and gcc-4.7 find the sys/sdt.h on host during do_configure, but fails to find the header during do_compile.

The error log as below:

Yep, I'm getting this too.
Comment 3 Jiajun Xu 2012-06-12 09:18:36 UTC 
There is no sdt.h in target sysroot:

[build@jiajun-desktop build]$ find tmp/sysroots | grep sdt

config.log for gcc-4.7/gcc
Comment 6 Khem Raj 2012-06-12 13:55:19 UTC 
config.log shows

configure:26743: checking sys/sdt.h in the target C library
configure:26752: result: yes

now can you check if you have sdt.h in /usr/include on your build machine ?

Just for checks can you move that header out if its there and then rerun do_configure and send me the config.log ?
Comment 7 Ross Burton 2012-06-12 13:57:21 UTC 
I also have that problem. That header file is in /usr/include/sys, and removing it (by removing systemtap-sdt-devel, and the vast amount of perl that ultimately depends on it) fixes the build.

Hi Khem,

This bug only appears if the systemtap-sdt-devel is installed on my Ubuntu x86_64 host. It seems that the configure step always looks for this header in /usr/include, regardless of the target (native or cross). Not sure how to fix this.

It does, thank you. I'll send the patch to the mailing list.
