[bug#54619] [PATCH] gnu: lsof: Fix cross-compilation.

[Brian Kubisiak]

Hello Mathieu,

I see the following compiler errors during the build phase when trying
to build with `guix build --target=aarch64-linux-gnu lsof':

Checking the build log, I see the following error:

Testing C library type with aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc ... ./Configure: line 2922: 
./lsof_Configure_tmp_26.x: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
done
Cannot determine C library type; assuming it is not glibc.

So I believe the compiler errors are caused by attempting to build
with glibc without adding glibc-specific build flags. The root cause
of this is that the c library detection in lsof builds and runs a
small program in order to see if it's using glibc. Since it is
building this with the cross-compiler, the resulting binary (usually)
won't be able to run on the host.

If you have binfmt_misc + qemu set up on your machine, you may not see
this error.

The solution is to point LINUX_CONF_CC at the build machine's compiler
instead of using the cross compiler for this step, which should build
and execute the test program natively.

Thanks,
Brian
