Cannot build lnav on aarch64

[tdiesler]

lnav version v0.9.0 is the latest

Describe the bug

I'm trying to integrate lnav with a Cardano node Docker image. The build is based on Nix and it works just fine on x86_64. On aarch64 I have no luck ...

To Reproduce

{
  # Pinned packages with Niv
  sources ? import ../sources.nix,
  haskellNix ? import sources.haskellNix {},
  nixpkgsSrc ? haskellNix.sources.nixpkgs-2009,
  nixpkgsArgs ? haskellNix.nixpkgsArgs,
  pkgs ? import nixpkgsSrc nixpkgsArgs,
}:

pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {

  pname = "lnav";
  version = "0.9.0";

  src = builtins.fetchGit {
    url = "https://github.com/tstack/lnav";
    rev = "0e1eb418c89440b8c4e65dd27f7fb3b2fe984255";
  };

  buildInputs = [
    pkgs.autoconf
    pkgs.automake
    pkgs.curl
    pkgs.libarchive
    pkgs.libzip
    pkgs.ncurses
    pkgs.pcre-cpp
    pkgs.readline
    pkgs.sqlite
  ];

  builder = ./builder.sh;
}

Can you try the v0.10.0-beta or the top-of-tree? Can you also attach the config.log from the build directory, that should give more information about the failure.

[tdiesler]

config-head.log config-0.10.0-beta1.log

It seems to fail like this ...

configure:6314: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:6336: aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -g -O2   conftest.c  >&5
/nix/store/ca148jcwpzjqyasyaqf9l81sndxwgbqn-binutils-2.35.1/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory
/nix/store/ca148jcwpzjqyasyaqf9l81sndxwgbqn-binutils-2.35.1/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

in both cases.

Here is the shell.nix that I use. I tried several versions of gcc from here

{
  pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}
}:

let

  version = "0.10.0-beta1";

in

  pkgs.mkShell {

    buildInputs = [
      pkgs.autoconf
      pkgs.automake
      pkgs.curl
      pkgs.gccStdenv
      pkgs.libarchive
      pkgs.libzip
      pkgs.ncurses
      pkgs.pcre-cpp
      pkgs.readline
      pkgs.sqlite
    ];

    shellHook = ''

      TARGET_DIR="$(pwd)/target"
      rm -rf $TARGET_DIR

      if [ ! -d $TARGET_DIR/gitsrc ]; then
        mkdir -p $TARGET_DIR
        git clone --depth 1 --branch "v${version}" https://github.com/tstack/lnav $TARGET_DIR/gitsrc
      fi

      cd $TARGET_DIR/gitsrc

      ./autogen.sh
      ./configure --prefix=$TARGET_DIR

      make
      make install

      sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/lnav
      sudo cp $TARGET_DIR/bin/lnav /usr/local/bin
    '';
}

Any news ? Currently getting this issue on Nixos 21.11
