Description

Customer discovered an error message in LTS22 build tree that pops up in a few places (unzip/zip log.do_compile files), but doesn't actually halt the build.

Both the "zip" and "unzip" recipes have a "unix/configure" script that runs during the do_compile bitbake stage. As with many configure scripts, these create short programs, compile them, and run them to determine if certain features are supported by the compiler.

I'll attach these two configure scripts for reference. The unzip configure script has three sections that write and compile a short program called conftest. Then it runs conftest, but gets the following error:

./conftest: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./conftest) 
Likewise, the zip configure script has two sections where running conftest produces a similar error. Interestingly, these failures don't stop the compilation process. The configure script simply interprets the errors as the compiler not supporting the feature it is trying to test for. The end result is that zip and unzip are built without support for "large zip files".

This has been reproduced on an Ubuntu 18.04 x86-64, which has glibc 2.27. LTS22 builds glibc 2.35. Something about these configure tests seems to be pull in symbols that require at least glibc 2.34, so when that gets run on ubuntu 18.04 build host, it can't find the symbols it needs.

Steps to Reproduce

 ./wrlinux-x/setup.sh --distros wrlinux --machines intel-x86-64 --templates feature/busybox,feature/installer-support --dl-layers --accept-eula yes

 source environment-setup-x86_64-wrlinuxsdk-linux 

 source oe-init-build-env 

 bitbake wrlinux-image-small 

 or


 bitbake zip

bitbake unzip
