Package: gcc-4.9
Version: 4.9.2-18
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I'm trying to re-prefix gcc at runtime and found that --sysroot option
is not properly respected - /usr/lib/ still stays in ld search path.
Here is an example
$ pwd
/home/kirr/tmp/gcc-sysroot # NOTE - non / nor /usr/...
$ mkdir root # NOTE it will stay _empty_
$ cat prog.c # test program to compile/link
int main() { return 0; }
$ gcc --sysroot=`pwd`/root prog.c # NOTE links ok. But it should
$ echo $? # complain that it cannot find
0 # e.g. crt1.o
# like e.g. gcc-snapshot is complaining
$ /usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin/gcc --sysroot=`pwd`/root prog.c
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
# though without --sysroot gcc-snapshot builds it ok:
$ /usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin/gcc prog.c
$ echo $?
0
I've investigated a bit with `gcc -v`:
$ gcc -v --sysroot=`pwd`/root prog.c
Using built-in specs.

and the reason for not dropping /usr/lib , it seems, is because of e.g.
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crt1.o
(realpath = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crt1.o)
being used as C-runtime support from libc, and then internally gcc for %D in
it's spec "Dump out a -L option for each directory in startfile_prefixes":
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/gcc.c;h=c7ce64d8fc864c2f8cf46269e020b86b637437ff;hb=b7c27a04cdf50ecaedd163a06b12c9d8753357aa#l379
and %D is used for link_linkgcc:
$ gcc -dumpspecs |grep -A2 '^\*link_libgcc'
*link_libgcc:
%D
so it looks like it picks up /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crt1.o (maybe correct)
and then whenever libgcc should be linked in (almost always) adds
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu in correspondence to it (wrong).
... which breaks sysroot promise - we can (unintentionally) link with
system libraries besides libc installed in /usr - look e.g.:
$ gcc --sysroot=`pwd`/root prog.c -lcrypto
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libdl.so.2, needed by /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
it picks up /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so !
(= realpath /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so)
the compilation failed just by luck, for some reason, but it succeeds with both -lcrypto -ldl:
$ gcc --sysroot=`pwd`/root prog.c -lcrypto -ldl
$ echo $?
0
and both libraries were picked from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu because root/ is
completely _empty_ !
~~~~
I guess gcc-snapshot succeeds not because the bug was fixed, but because it is
maybe configured at different-than /usr prefix (/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot) -
because I've tried to compile gcc-4_9-branch manually, with also
different-from-usr prefix, and that manually compiled gcc respects --sysroot ok.
With this situation, when standard search paths are still being used, it is not
possible to rely on --sysroot promise:
---- 8<---- from gcc(1)
--sysroot=dir
Use dir as the logical root directory for headers and libraries.
For example, if the compiler normally searches for headers in
/usr/include and libraries in /usr/lib, it instead searches
dir/usr/include and dir/usr/lib.
I would appreciate, if it possible to fix.
Thanks beforehand,
Kirill
