Currently the package core/linux is compiled using GCC
7.x:
$ cat /proc/version Linux version 4.11.2-1-ARCH (builduser@tobias) (gcc version 7.1.1 20170516 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon May 22 06:53:49 CEST 2017 However, this version is not available under core/gcc: $ yareps gcc core/gcc 6.3.1-2 (base-devel) The GNU Compiler Collection - C and C++ frontends The GCC 7.x is still under testing repo. If you think the compiler is not stable enough, you should not compile the kernel with it. Or if you think it can be used for compiling the kernel, just put it into the core repo. The mismatched version like that will cause some important software, such as vmware, unable to start, since finding suitable GCC version is not possible, unless user enabled the test repo. This is not a excepted result. I recommend you either move gcc from testing to core, or recompile core/linux with gcc 6. |
