Hello Brian,

Without your patch lsof seems to cross-build successfully, why is it
required to set this LINUX_CONF_CC variable?

Thanks,

Mathieu
  

Hello Mathieu,

I see the following compiler errors during the build phase when trying
to build with `guix build --target=aarch64-linux-gnu lsof':

Checking the build log, I see the following error:

Testing C library type with aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc ... ./Configure: line 2922: ./lsof_Configure_tmp_26.x: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
done
Cannot determine C library type; assuming it is not glibc.

So I believe the compiler errors are caused by attempting to build
with glibc without adding glibc-specific build flags. The root cause
of this is that the c library detection in lsof builds and runs a
small program in order to see if it's using glibc. Since it is
building this with the cross-compiler, the resulting binary (usually)
won't be able to run on the host.

If you have binfmt_misc + qemu set up on your machine, you may not see
this error.

The solution is to point LINUX_CONF_CC at the build machine's compiler
instead of using the cross compiler for this step, which should build
and execute the test program natively.

Thanks,
Brian
  

Hello Brian,

Thanks for the explanation!

Oh right, that's probably why I didn't see those errors.
