llvm dev - Jun 2017 - building llvm_Rel400 on Scientific Linux (RHEL) 7.3 x86_64

Hi,

I am trying to build the LLVM suite on a RedHat Enterprise Linux clone
(Scientific Linux <https://www.scientificlinux.org/>). In the latest
attempt, the build seems to complete without any explicit failures but the
`check-all` process fails. Any ideas about what is wrong or suggestions for how
to proceed would be much appreciated.

This is the current procedure:

sudo yum install ninja-build
sudo yum install cmake3
sudo yum install subversion

sudo rpm -Uvh
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7x/external_products/softwarecollections/yum-conf-softwarecollections-2.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm

sudo yum install devtoolset-6
# See
<http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/centos7/docs/softwarecollections.shtml>

scl enable devtoolset-6 bash

mkdir $HOME/build
export BASE=$HOME/build
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/tags/RELEASE_400/final/

I can't reproduce this exact failure (my build dies earlier), but I
think what's happening is that you're finding a libstdc++.a from the
GCC toolchain (i.e. a static rather than dynamic library).

For static libraries the order of objects on the command-line matters
libclang_rt.xray-fdr-x86_64.a is after libstdc++, so libstdc++ isn't
examined again and the link step fails.

I think you should be able to fix it by changing the
compiler-rt/lib/xray/test/CMakeLists.txt. If you find the
"add_compiler_rt_test" call and move "-lstdc++" to the end,
just after
"-lrt" it should work.

I'm not sure if this is the real fix though we'd want to adopt into
compiler-rt though.

Cheers.

Tim.

Thanks, Tim. I don't see "-lrt":
