What is the relationship between using precompiled headers and relro
build problems ?

I took me some time to understand the issue.
It seems that linker flag such as -Wl,-z,relro should not be used when
building a precompiled header.
I discovered this through this domoticz commit message:
https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/commit/68698e7a5dce80dea5a9b997d7e171b80bf566ac

However, this commit does not fix the issue on buildroot as
-Wl,-z,relro is not passed through CXXFLAGS but through our
toolchain-wrapper.
Updating toolchain/toolchain-wrapper.c to add the logic to manage
precompiled header seems more complicated than adding an option to
disable this feature from domoticz.

So, I looked into this, found
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-July/153664.html
and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=718719.

So it really seems like -Wl,-z,relzo should not be passed when
compiling. But our compiler wrapper passes it unconditionally when
RELRO is enabled.

Do we have a way to detect that the wrapper is called to compile or to
link ? I don't think we do.

So is Fabrice's patch an acceptable work-around, or do we want to fix
this more globally ?

Thanks for your feedback,

Thomas

Looks like we can just key on -xc-header or -xc++-header and
selectively enable the RELRO flags.  I'll do some builds and then send
a patch if that looks ok.

 I'm not so sure if that is a generic solution... As explained in [1]:

$ gcc -o /tmp/stdio.gch /usr/include/stdio.h
$ gcc -c -o /tmp/stdio.gch /usr/include/stdio.h -Wl,-z,relro
$ gcc -o /tmp/stdio.gch /usr/include/stdio.h -Wl,-z,relro
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/9/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: in
function `_start':
(.text+0x24): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

 The problem AFAICS is that if no -c or similar option is given, GCC decides
what needs to be done based on the rest of the arguments. If the rest of the
arguments include a -Wl,... option, it decides that linking needs to be done. If
the rest of the arguments are just header files, it decides to create a
precompiled header.

 I think a more appropriate solution is to patch domoticz to add the -c option
for building precompiled headers, which AFAICS should fix the issue.

 If we want to fix it at the toolchain level, I think it would be more
appropriate to handle it the way most distros do: by patching the spec file.

 Regards,
 Arnout

Agree, the little bit of testing I did ended up at the conclusion of
[1] where GCC infers a direction to take.

I believe the last time we looked at doing a custom spec file we
instead choose the wrapper path.    However I'd be curious how often
this will show up as it would be easier to patch domoticz and the
couple other packages for now.
