Description Stephen Hurd freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2011-11-01 09:40:10 UTC 
After upgrading from 8.2-RELEASEp3 to 9.0-RC1 using freebsd-update, it is no longer possible to manually build the spidermonkey JS engine with the included gcc.

The error is:
jsnativestack.o: In function `js::GetNativeStackBaseImpl()':
jsnativestack.cpp:(.text+0x35): undefined reference to `pthread_attr_get_np'
/usr/bin/ld: libmozjs185.so: hidden symbol `pthread_attr_get_np' isn't defined
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output

Fix: 

Completely unknown.  I worked around it by setting # pragma GCC visibility push(default) before the pthread.h include and popping it after the pthread_np.h include.

It doesn't appear that this is a correct fix though and the www/firefox etc ports don't seem to have ran into it.
How-To-Repeat: - Install devel/gmake and devel/nspr4 on a 9.0-RC1 system.
- Download http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js185-1.0.0.tar.gz
- Change to the js-1.8.5/js/src directory
- Run configure with no arguments
- Run gmake

This looks likely to be a port bug.

Mk/bsd.gecko.mk uses similar fix, i.e.

  $ rm -f jsnativestack.o
  $ echo pthread_np.h >>config/system-headers
  $ gmake

which is probably caused by r215840.

So is this a configure bug in the mozilla sources or a regression due 
to r215840? =C2=A0Has a GCC guru looked at this?
