Description Stacey Son freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-07-03 19:58:59 UTC
In building various ports (such as devel/libpcre) I have noticed that 'strip' corrupts the static library and the port build will fail.  To reproduce do the following with an unstripped static library:

  root@erl:/tmp # ls -al libpcre.a 
  -rw-r--r--  1 sson  wheel  404446 Jun 11 18:52 libpcre.a
  root@erl:/tmp # strip --strip-debug libpcre.a 
  root@erl:/tmp # ls -al libpcre.a 
  -rw-r--r--  1 sson  wheel  403506 Jun 11 18:53 libpcre.a
  root@erl:/tmp # ranlib libpcre.a 
  ranlib: warning: can't find .strtab section
  ranlib: fatal: Invalid filename
  root@erl:/tmp # ls -al libpcre.a
  -rw-r--r--  1 sson  wheel  0 Jun 11 18:53 libpcre.a
Comment 1 Stacey Son freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-07-03 20:21:12 UTC
I should have noted that the above was on a MIPS64 Ether Router Lite.  'strip' also seems to corrupt static libraries on the MIPS arch as well but not to the point where 'ranlib' will fail with a "fatal" error.
Comment 2 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-07-24 18:52:31 UTC
I'll see if this is fixed by using elftoolchain's strip
Comment 3 Sean Bruno freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-07-24 19:22:55 UTC
adding toolchain people.  I don't think anyone really wants to dig into the gcc tool chain at this point.  But, as always, I never assume I know what I'm talking about.

elftoolchain's strip does not handle SHT_MIPS_OPTIONS

Comment 5 Dimitry Andric freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-07-25 17:57:01 UTC
Stacey, can you please attach a compressed version of the unstripped libpcre.a, if you still have it?  That would make it a little easier for me to debug.

Updated and tried a xdev tool chain and a fully native tool chain in emulation via QEMU.  pkg still seems to be failing:

In the pkg case I encountered it's "strip --strip-debug", which should only be removing debug data, and should be fine for static libraries.
Comment 13 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-04 16:16:49 UTC
As a workaround the offending "strip --strip-debug" can be disabled in the libtool files by commenting out old_striplib.

-old_striplib="strip --strip-debug"
+#old_striplib="strip --strip-debug"

Comment 17 na 2014-11-20 17:09:26 UTC
No need for ports collection to reproduce this bug, simply:

$ echo 'int fun(int x){return x+42;}' > misc.c && cc -c misc.c && ar -rc misc.a misc.o && cp misc.a misc2.a
$ strip misc.a
$ ranlib misc.a
ranlib: warning: can't find .strtab section
ranlib: fatal: Invalid filename
$ ranlib misc2.a

Comment 18 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-11-28 22:09:39 UTC
It looks like this is currently fixed in the in-tree libelf, and in upstream elftoolchain libelf. I have work in progress to switch to strip (and other tools) from the elftoolchain project, see https://reviews.freebsd.org/D1224.

After installing strip from there I see:

root@erl:~ # echo 'int fun(int x){return x+42;}' > misc.c && cc -c misc.c && ar -rc misc.a misc.o && cp misc.a misc2.a
root@erl:~ # strip misc.a
root@erl:~ # ranlib misc.a
ranlib: warning: can't find .strtab section
root@erl:~ # ranlib misc2.a
root@erl:~ #
Comment 19 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-11-28 22:31:52 UTC
And for completeness,

# echo 'int fun(int x){return x+42;}' > misc.c && cc -c misc.c && ar -rc misc.a misc.o
# strip --strip-debug misc.a
# ranlib misc.a
# 
# nm misc.a

Comment 20 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-01-14 18:39:28 UTC
WITH_ELFTOOLCHAIN_TOOLS is now the default in HEAD so this issue will be solved there.

Merging it back to stable/10 is not really feasible at the moment, so we'll have to consider what we do for the stable branch.
Comment 21 George V. Neville-Neil freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-04-20 23:23:23 UTC
If we can't MFC then do we apply the patch to 10-STABLE?
Comment 22 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-05-06 01:51:13 UTC
There's no patch to apply - the issue is fixed in HEAD by switching from GNU binutils strip to ELF Tool Chain's strip. It would be possible to bring that back to stable/10 as an option, but there's a reasonably long dependency chain to address, and we'd likely need to find a way to install two different copies of libelf.
Comment 23 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-06-13 15:00:57 UTC
This is fixed in -CURRENT with the migration to the ELF Tool Chain version of strip. It is not feasible to merge that change back to stable/10.

MIPS users who cannot move off stable/10 will have to use a workaround like one of those discussed in other comments in this PR.
Comment 24 Sergey 2018-02-14 13:25:08 UTC
Actually the issue preserves on 11.1, 'strip' removes not requested sections:
