On aarch64 we "leak" a reference to $out/lib/systemd/catalog in the lib output. The result of that is a dependency cycle between $out and $lib. Thus nix (rightfully) marks the build as failed. That reference originates from an array of strings (catalog_file_dirs) in systemd (src/src/journal/catalog.{c,h}). The only consumer (as of v242) of the symbol is the main function of journalctl. Still libsystemd.so contains the VALUE but not the symbol. Systemd seems to be properly using function & data sections together with the linker flags to garbage collect unused sections (-Wl,--gc-sections). For unknown reasons those flags do not eliminate the unused string constants, in this case on aarch64-linux. The hacky way is to just remove the reference after we finished compiling. Since it can not be used (there is no symbol to actually refer to it) there should not be any harm. It is a bit odd and I really do not like starting these kind of hacks but there doesn't seem to be a straight forward way at this point in time. The reference will be replaced by the same reference the usual nukeRefs tooling uses. The standard tooling can not / should not be uesd since it is a bit too excessive and could potentially do us some (more) harm. |
