in makepkg.conf flags are set:
export CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe"
export CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe"

I got LC_ALL=PL_pl

Can't reproduce this in my build chroot.

Did you used "my" flags and locales settings ??

also works for me. The error happens on linking. Which locales do you mean?

I mean: Did you used my settings for CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LC_ALL to reproduce this error ?

Those CFLAGS would fail on my system, because an Athlon is not a Pentium III. We support i686 as -march, not pentium3. About the LC_ALL: I don't know, I don't use locales other than the standard "C" defined one.

I compiled it with your flags on a PIV with your flags (by exporting the directly in makepkg's subshell) and even got it run since this architectures are not too different. My guess is now that you recompiled your complete base with these settings. That is not supported by a purely binary distro like since it can always cause issues on different architectures. You can do a crosscheck off your issue by exporting the standard settings in your PKGBUILD and compile it. I really wonder if it is connected to the architecture thing at all since it works on my "tuned" desktop and my clean chroot.

Hmm ... I tried buid again with updated system and it failed again,
when I back home I will switch to LC_ALL=C and we wil see

Locale are set:

[11:03][root@kog tomek]# locale
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"

flags are set to i686:

export CARCH="i686"

export CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -O2 -pipe"
export CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -O2 -pipe"


and I got error:

do you have ldconfig disabled on startup since this looks like a linker error. I have three more people who can build that flawslessly. So I really think that issue is related to some tweaks at your box. Maybe post that on the forum to get more help on investigating it.

What is ldconfig ?

I'm building by "srcpac -Sb xpdf"

ldconfig keeps the linker cache in /etc/ld.so.cache uptodate. It is needed to let the libraries know where they find the exact locations of functions in other libraries they depend on.
It was usually run at startup in rc.sysinit but should be run by pacman each time you install or sync a package.

I browse rc.sysinit and I found that ldconfig line is commented
(FYI I didn't do that it is standard line from package - I think)

I check the date for /etc/ld.so.cache and it is changing when I start pacman or srcpac

so there is no more progress here, I still can't reproduce that issues, also on my old Celeron (P2 architecture). Any new comments or I gonna close it.

I got the problem with subversion maybe this is with it. Pls close it.
