From 6fb0dbe4038ccde96e4600ca566d6269911077bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)" Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2021 01:31:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] package/libcap: don't overwrite 'empty' when generating loader.txt Upstream commit [1] introduced an invocation of objcopy to generat loader.txt. However, objcopy, if not provided with an output file, will overwrite the input file. This is usually harmless because it will be identical, but the timestamp is updated. This may cause 'empty' to be newer than 'loader.txt', which causes 'loader.txt' and its dependencies to be rebuilt during 'make install' We provide a different set of parameters during 'make install'. In particular, we no longer pass in HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS, so we no longer set LDFLAGS. Thus, there is no -Wl,rpath option that is passed in, which causes the resulting binaries to have an incorrect RPATH. Fix this by adding /dev/null as the output file in the objcopy invocation. Patch was sent upstream, but there's no mailing list, just a single person.
