After the staging installation, we replace a number of paths in libtool
.la files so that those paths point to STAGING_DIR instead of a location
in the build machine.
However, we replace only paths that start with /usr. And it turns out
that the linux-pam package is configured with --libdir=/lib (linux-pam
seems to always be installed in /lib rather than /usr/lib).
Due to this, libpam.la contains the following line:
libdir='/lib'
When building a configuration that has:
- BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR=y
- BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_PAM=y
- BR2_PACKAGE_POLKIT=y
on a system that has its system-wide PAM library installed in /lib,
the build fails with:
/lib/libpam.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized
For some reason, libtool searches only in STAGING_DIR/usr/lib, but
when BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR=y, STAGING_DIR/lib points to
STAGING_DIR/usr/lib, so libtool finds libpam.la. And this libpam.la
contains a bogus libdir='/lib' path. libtool then goes on, finds
/lib/libpam.so, and links with it, causing the build failure.
By doing the proper replacement of libdir='/lib', we have a correct
libpam.la, and solve the build issue.
There is no autobuilder failure associated to this issue, as it
requires /lib/libpam.so to exist. This is the case on ArchLinux, on
which Xogium reported the issue, which can also be reproduced in an
ArchLinux container.
