 frontear | I’m able to reuse the CFLAGS that are created, I just went ahead and threw pkg-config —libs package1 package2 … and this seems to work | 03:58:47 |
| frontear | Found it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/build-support/cc-wrapper/default.nix#L37 | 05:29:38 |
| frontear | by default link flags aren’t given to NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE, which matches what I was seeing | 05:29:55 |
| frontear | now the weird thing is that since the CC wrapper should be using the LD wrapper, I’d have expected NIX_LDFLAGS to be relevant for it | 05:30:24 |
| frontear | back to investigating | 05:30:32 |

| dramforever | We build the bootstrap tools LLVM on aarch64-darwin for aarch64-apple-darwin but the real LLVM for arm64-apple-darwin. This is now a problem because LLVM 21 assumes that it should be arm64 in a test. This is now blocking the current staging-next -> master cycle. | 11:38:51 |

| dramforever | I'm thinking of just changing it to arm64-apple-darwin, which should fix staging-next, but this means it requires special handling next time someone comes around to touching the bootstrap tarball | 11:39:55 |
| dramforever | I don't know if this is a good idea / who to tell about this. Any ideas? Thanks | 11:40:31 |
 Lun | wanted to take a look at your issue but fetching https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/patch/patch-2.5.9.tar.gz is failing, did you have to import any FODs from alternate sources to get that far? | 22:33:05 |
| Lun | something cursed is happening in gen-fib. if you run it redirecting to a file that file just gets /* This file generated by gen-fib.c - DO NOT EDIT. */ and no further lines.
probably the musl always-flush.patch you dropped was loadbearing | 23:28:08 |

| Lun | yeah if you apply it again minimal-bootstrap.gcc46 builds, tested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/ecbb9bad38cf3d293943cb9cebb84dce1fd05698 | 23:39:06 |

| dish [Fox/It/She] | fascinating as to why that's the case | 00:04:14 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | thanks | 00:04:15 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | strange, appreciate the help! | 00:04:30 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | but also it does make sense | 00:05:45 |

| dish [Fox/It/She] | Okay, confirmed that the new bootstrap chain fully builds. I'm going to push my changes as they stand right now as a PR, and start a new branch rebasing emily's changes from #260193 to my branch. | 00:51:19 |
