Description Raul Cabello 2021-10-06 11:07:13 UTC

Hello,

When I try to compile using static libraries with s390x as a target I get the following error:
The directory that should contain system headers does not exist:
  /usr/src/buildroot/output/per-package/host-gcc-final/host/s390x-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include

My .config file is attached. These are the steps I did to generate my .config file:

- make menuconfig
- Select Target -> Target Architecture -> s390x
- Select Build Options -> Libraries -> static only
- exit and save .config

Then if I run make with this config I get error I mentioned above.

It works fine if I select shared libraries instead of static.

Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.3
Kernel: Linux 5.3.18-57-default
Architecture: x86-64

Thank you.

.config

.config file is bigger than 75KB, so I uploaded here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raulcabello/buildroot-config/main/config

That's because no libc is selected.

Only glibc has support for s390x, and glibc doesn't support static builds.

Buildroot should disallow static builds for s390x.

(In reply to Arnout Vandecappelle from comment #2)

I'm confused by your comment. Of course glibc supports building static binaries, so you must mean something else is going on that makes this not work with your project. Could you explain what that might be, please? Thanks.
