| nim65s | oh, wait, no | 13:09:57 |
 matthewcroughan @fosdem | Bash is quite an odd one though | 13:10:00 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Because 99% of the builds work | 13:10:07 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | I guess this is the runtime bash for the system | 13:10:14 |
 dramforever | this shouldn't change anything since it's stdenv.hostPlatform.isFreeBSD | 13:10:14 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | That might be the problem | 13:10:38 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | maybe I need it in my case | 13:10:47 |
| dramforever | how we have ended up std=c23 is certainly a mystery... | 13:11:17 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | But I forked nixpkgs and added it unconditionally and it seems to crash still | 13:11:41 |

| matthewcroughan @fosdem | In that case I get configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 13:12:11 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Beginning configuration for bash-5.3-release for aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in '/build/bash-5.3':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Maybe John Ericson would know how to fix it :D | 13:13:40 |
| dramforever | do you have the full log | 13:13:51 |
| dramforever | for the first one | 13:13:52 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Yeah can put it on termbin, sec | 13:14:02 |

| dramforever | yeah looks like c23-ness mismatch | 13:16:02 |
| dramforever | i love cross compilation | 13:16:12 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Ah you would hate native musl llvm stuff more | 13:19:06 |
| dramforever | hmm, looks like bootstrapping will be "okay" | 13:24:00 |
| dramforever | lemme give it a try | 13:24:06 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Funny enough, system closures end up smaller if you cross compile instead of native | 13:24:32 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | like I have a small nixos closure built with gnu-llvm-musl, and it comes out smaller than the one build without the gnu cross stuff | 13:24:51 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | a few megabytes | 13:24:55 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | there's also an accidental linkage to the llvm toolchain that occurs in the native setup that adds 40M | 13:25:29 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | but even when that is corrected for, the cross-compiled setup produces smaller closures | 13:25:41 |
| dramforever | oh, got tricked by parallel build | 13:30:48 |
