Description warpme 2016-06-16 09:17:31 UTC 
I'm trying to build 12.0.0-rc3 in cross-compile environment.
Build fails at mesa_dri_drivers.so linking with following error:

11.2.2 builds perfectly in the same environment.
Comment 1 warpme 2016-08-10 15:30:26 UTC 
FYI:

ppl from Phoronix forums located the cause of the problem: gen_matypes.c is passed to the compiler in order to generate assembly code in text form (compiler switch: -S), but with -flto GCC doesn't output any code nor data because that is postponed to link time. In such case gcc -S -flto generates a file with empty .text and .data sections.

This isn't a GCC bug. Passing -ffat-lto-objects solves issue for me so maybe if compile passes -S together with -flto then the config should imply -ffat-lto-objects ?

The using the link time optimisation flag is not an officially supported way to build mesa.
