Fixes for compiling prefix packages on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and later

For the High Sierra release, Apple have fixed a known vulnerability by causing code which uses the '%n' printf() format in a string stored in writable memory to crash with an illegal instruction: 4 error. Sadly, this is a runtime error rather than a compiler error, making it difficult to detect. Known failures currently exist in vasnprintf() implementations - these cases are automatically detected and patched by deploying the Portage bashrc override file from local/etc/portage/bashrc to ${EPREFIX}/etc/portage/ and copying the accomdanying patch from local/etc/portage/patches/All/vasnprintf.patch to ${EPREFIX}/etc/portage/patches/All/.

Two affected packages which use an older vasnprintf() implementation which is incompatible with the supplied patch are as follows:

• dev-util/pkgconfig
• dev-vcs/cvs

... which are explicitly patched in an overlay package.

It is unlikely that this change affects only vasnprintf() code and no other, so further patches will likely also be required...

Fixes for compiling prefix packages under macOS using LLVM/clang

Some packages will fail with illegal instruction: 4 if compiled with certain compiler-optimisations enabled. Indeed, the -ftrapv flag will cause clang to intenionally insert ud2 (Undefined Instruction) op-codes where integer overflows could occur, and this catches-out a significant number of packages, causing them to crash with SIGILL - illegal instruction. To work around this on a per-package basis where -ftrapv has not been used during compilation, perform the following steps:

mkdir ${EPREFIX}/etc/portage/env

cat > ${EPREFIX}/etc/portage/env/debug <<EOF

# Assuming that clang is now default...

#CC="${EPREFIX}/usr/bin/clang"
#CXX="${EPREFIX}/usr/bin/clang++"

CFLAGS="-arch x86_64 -march=x86-64"
CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fcolor-diagnostics -O0 -g -pipe"
CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -Wno-implicit-function-declaration"

CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
#CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -stdlib=libstdc++"

#LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -stdlib=libstdc++"

MAKEOPTS="-j1"

#PKGDIR="${PORTDIR}/packages/clang"

# vi: set syntax=conf:
EOF

cat >> ${EPREFIX}/etc/portage/package.env <<EOF
~sys-devel/binutils-apple-6.1 debug
EOF

... correcting for CFLAGS as appropriate in ${EPREFIX}/etc/portage/env/debug.

A similar configuration file could be added for all packages which fail to compile with clang and require gcc. An (unfortunately incomplete) list of these packages consists of:

~dev-vcs/subversion-1.7.19
~sys-devel/binutils-config-3-r03.1
~sys-devel/gcc-apple-4.2.1_p5666
~sys-libs/db-5.2.42

(subversion presents an issue - it cannot be compiled with clang, but if USE="perl" then the same compiler must be used to build subversion as was used to build perl)

... with a slightly larger set of builds failing if FEATURES="strict" or FEATURES="stricter", or if MAKEOPTS is not set to "-j1".

Fixes for ebuilds using /run

(... rather than /var/run)

Included as install-qa-check.d/95run-directory in the repo metadata directory is an additional QA check which reports an error if files deployed to /etc/init.d or /etc/conf.d contain references to /run.

Fixes to allow /var/state to be used in place of /var/lib

/var/state was referenced in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 2.0 as superseding /var/lib, although versions 2.1 and later no longer mention this particular configuration. Regardless, supporting /var/state (with a symlink from /var/lib for compatibility) takes very little effort, and the name state feels like a much better fit with respect to the intended contents.

Fixes for MIPS n32 and x86_64 x32 ABIs

Included is a modified eclass/multilib.eclass that no longer overrides any amd64 LIBDIR_* environment variables, which may now usefully be set in /etc/portage/make.conf. For this to work universally, you may need to edit /etc/portage/repos.conf and add:

[DEFAULT]
eclass-overrides = srcshelton

... to ensure that main-repo ebuilds benefit from the change. The LIBDIR variables, and their default values, are:

LIBDIR_amd64="lib64"
LIBDIR_x32="libx32"
LIBDIR_x86="lib"
SYMLINK_LIB="yes"

... noting that SYMLINK_LIB defaults to "no" (e.g. do not try to symlink /lib and /usr/lib to the library directory which the ABI actually uses) for x32 profiles, and that these variables only affect multilib systems.
