Details

Description:

The nano specs files, e.g. /usr/riscv64-elf/lib/nano.specs, specify that the compiler should link against -lgloss_nano, however this file is not shipped as part of this package. The pre-built GNU embedded toolchain at https://www.sifive.com/boards/ contains such a file, which is required to use the Freedom E SDK. Please excuse, if this is simply a different toolchain targeting a different platform and thus the wrong place to report.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 3.3.0-1
* config and/or log files etc.: See "reproduce"
* link to upstream bug report, if any: N/A

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a minimal C main function
2. Compile using

$ riscv64-elf-gcc --specs=nano.specs mwe.o -o mwe
/usr/lib/gcc/riscv64-elf/9.3.0/../../../../riscv64-elf/bin/ld: cannot find -lgloss_nano
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

No, this is correct. Sorry. I'll try to fix it soon.

Thanks a bunch! I'd like to have been more helpful, but I couldn't find the issue in the PKGBUILD. For what it's worth, the AUR package riscv64-unknown-elf-newlib does ship the library. Thanks for maintaining!

I didn't include it in the build because it increases build time and I thought nobody was making it. I didn't know about the nano.specs issue though.

The attached patch should fix this problem.

libm_nano is also missing from the package.
In newlib 4.1.0 libm_nano is also used by nano.specs (it wasn't before), so most nano builds will probably break.
