Arch Linux User Repository

@PedroHLC See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qemu-user-static/#comment-698555. Rebuild glib2-static, possibly also pcre-static should fix the linker error. I will try to update the PKGBUILD to check for outdated static lto libs.

I'm getting:

lto1: fatal error: bytecode stream in file "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/9.1.0/../../../../lib/libglib-2.0.a" generated with LTO version 7.1 instead of the expected 8.0

EDIT2: Obviously, the solution is to rebuild glib2-static. Sorry for making this comment...

Building in a chroot fails:

==> Starting prepare()...
==> Starting build()...

ERROR: Python not found. Use --python=/path/to/python

The following diff appears to fix it:

@DDoSolitary clean building pcre-static did the trick, thanks!

I got the same one as @atemu only the versions are 7.0 and the expected is 7.1 (LTO)

@atemu I think rebuilding the dependency glib2-static will fix the problem. You probably also need to rebuild pcre-static if it's built by an older version of gcc too.

The same error here as what @atemu encountered.

I get the following error when building:

Please update :-) Here is the trivial patch, I successfully use:
