Cross Compilation for arm64 on x64 fails

[Marv-CZ]

Version

16.14.2

Platform

Linux (Fedora 34 64bit)

Subsystem

No response

What steps will reproduce the bug?

I cross compile Node.js 16.14.2 from sources for 64bit arm on 64bit Intel PC. I use the following options:

./configure --without-dtrace --without-etw --without-npm --cross-compiling --partly-static --dest-cpu=arm64 --dest-os=linux

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

No response

What is the expected behavior?

It fails with following:

Where did you get the source tarball from? I'm pretty sure simulator-arm64.cc isn't built by the official distribution.

edit: I was wrong, it's scraped at configure time from deps/v8/BUILD.gn.

[Marv-CZ]

I used link on https://nodejs.org/en/download/ i.e. https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.14.2/node-v16.14.2.tar.gz

[Marv-CZ]

Actually, no, because of the size, I downloaded xz archive: https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.14.2/node-v16.14.2.tar.xz

[Hypfer]

Can confirm that the same happens by checking out the v16.14.2 git tag

[bnoordhuis]

Can you check if HEAD of the master branch cross-compiles okay? I think there's a good chance 6ac1ccc fixed this.

[Hypfer]

What I can say right now is that compilation of git tag v17.8.0 works fine
Same for v16.10.0

I can try building HEAD of master later today

[Marv-CZ]

Yes, I used 16.10.0 previously and it works fine. I try to find which version is breaking.

[Marv-CZ]

So, I tried to build various versions and it is broken from 16.11.0.

I also tried to apply Ben's suggested patch 6ac1ccc back to 16.14.2 and it works. Thank you very much Ben.

[bnoordhuis]

@targos is 6ac1ccc eligible for cherry-picking to the release branches? Looks low risk to me.

[targos]

I don't have any problem with it if it doesn't break the build.

[bnoordhuis]

@Hypfer @Marv-CZ you want to take a stab at back-porting it? Details are here.
