 dramforever | this is in nixos-unstable | 04:35:45 |
 Tristan Ross | Oh sweet | 04:36:07 |
| Tristan Ross | I couldn't use nixpk.gs to check since 504 so I decided to give it a shot like 5 minutes ago | 04:36:42 |
| Tristan Ross | Having to wait for a bunch of other builds | 04:36:50 |
| Tristan Ross | At least I get to put the 512GB of RAM I have to good use | 04:37:01 |
| Tristan Ross | Oh yes, that indeed is working. Thank you for fixing that. | 04:38:12 |
| dramforever | i literally did nothing lol | 04:38:27 |
| Tristan Ross | Oh lol, I misremembered | 04:38:52 |
| Tristan Ross | I even looked at the PR like 2 seconds ago... 🤦♂️ | 04:39:08 |
| dramforever | anyway i'm going to try ubuntu riscv64 and see | 04:39:36 |
| Tristan Ross | Alright | 04:39:54 |
| dramforever | like how on earth they're not running into the base address problem for PDEs | 04:40:09 |
| Tristan Ross | Idk, it somehow works for them lol | 04:41:12 |

| Tristan Ross | I might've forgot to set the device tree | 06:44:25 |
| Tristan Ross | Or the problem is I am using the older kernel branch | 06:44:35 |
| Tristan Ross | Or the problem is both of those things | 06:44:42 |
| Tristan Ross | Ah yes, it was the device tree | 07:37:24 |

Their newer kernel doesn't build lol

What
| 03:13:25 |
| dramforever | Tristan Ross: i wonder if the problem is that patchelf moves back the load address by one page | 08:50:52 |
| dramforever | so it was at 64 KiB as you can see if you just readelf the non-patchelf'd gcc from bootstrap tools | 08:51:20 |
| dramforever | lmao | 08:56:35 |
| dramforever | https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/issues/622 | 09:01:02 |
| dramforever | lmao | 09:05:29 |
| dramforever | i have no idea how to fix this | 10:51:50 |
| Tristan Ross | In reply to @dramforever:matrix.org
https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/issues/622 Oh that's great | 15:05:35 |
| Tristan Ross | Oh great, literally everything in that branch of the kernel from DeepComputing is just broken | 22:33:19 |
