| whispers [& it/fae] | * hence why i was worrying in that github comment that there's something Odd™ going on there with the build system | 11:46:45 |

 Randy Eckenrode | The symbol should be present, so it’s seemingly an odd case. | 11:48:18 |
 sampointon | openblas is failing tests on aarch64-linux, not just musl (though there can always be fun extra musl-only errors). https://github.com/OpenMathLib/OpenBLAS/issues/5708 is the upstream issue and https://github.com/OpenMathLib/OpenBLAS/pull/5710 a patch that makes the tests pass, but it's not clear what's going on or if there are more issues lurking | 13:34:52 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | openblas (/nix/store/4g2wialyszpsy3py3bmqgyj0sd0cszqp-openblas-0.3.32, same as hydra) built locally for me on aarch64-linux just fine fwiw. so it seems like a flaky thing mby | 13:38:50 |

 K900 | Gotta be a compiler bug | 13:43:20 |
| emily | well, could also be code with UB that volatile or not happens to kick into a different state space | 14:44:33 |
| emily | using volatile in the first place is highly suggestive of UB going on | 14:44:44 |
| emily | usually those perturbations are things getting fixed by volatile though... | 14:45:05 |
 Sapii | If a package is marked broken, but it depends on a still open pr to pass, do I wait? this is in the case of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/471310 stopping https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/507464 | 16:48:36 |
| whispers [& it/fae] | fwiw I'm wondering if this might be an autoconf moment. I'm seeing some discussion about iconv on the mailing list, but i can't find the origin of that discussion to see if it's the same issue or something else https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2026-04/msg00000.html | 17:16:41 |

| Randy Eckenrode | I just hit the libarchive problem while working on a Darwin source release cleanup. Our libiconv has that symbol. Is libarchive not linking libiconv? 🤔 | 00:01:24 |
| Randy Eckenrode | It’s the autoconf libiconv issue. | 00:05:18 |
| Randy Eckenrode | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/508131 fix for libarchive | 00:29:51 |
| K900 | Going to yeet a pipewire update in | 09:54:56 |
| K900 | It's barely built | 09:55:01 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I have a fix for Autoconf 2.73 breakage for Expect. It’s 213 rebuilds on Linux according to nixpkgs-review. Is that a reasonable amount to target staging-next without making the fix conditional? It’s only built on x86_64-linux so far. Hydra is showing it hasn’t been built on aarch64-linux. It’s broken on Darwin right now.

 Alyssa Ross | That's a very small rebuild count. | 11:55:51 |
 Vladimír Čunát | Yes, especially as we don't have a large fraction finished yet (~53k successes / ~280k). | 11:58:49 |
| K900 | Uhh it's 58818 rebuilds according to CI | 12:50:33 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Why do you even need a rebuild on isGNU? | 12:55:10 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Besides, I believe you paste the strings incorrectly (without a space). | 12:56:01 |
