I've tried to bisect that with:
$ guix time-machine --commit=<commit> -- \
system build--target=aarch64-linux-gnu noconfig.scm
but strangely I failed to find some working commit, so I end up not
being able to bisect.

As I understand the Pinebook pro image is also cross compiled, so
normally that should fail in the same way. But here something is
really strange as well:
- The CI says everything is ok here:
- The download image doesn't exist but return '{"error":"Could not find
the requested build product."}' instead.

That correspond to the commit e6af40d7b46b5c9e397a38c62c885fb42ccd9d26 .

So if I use:
Toggle quote (4 lines)
> ;; Adapted from Guix manual, GFDL 1.3 (+?)
> (use-modules (gnu system images pine64))
> (operating-system (inherit pine64-barebones-os))

with:
$ guix time-machine \
--commit=e6af40d7b46b5c9e397a38c62c885fb42ccd9d26 \
-- \
system build --target=aarch64-linux-gnu pine64.scm

I still end up with:

I was testing it with a cloned guix repo on my disk, opening a
shell with "guix shell -D guix git".

It seems like with commit
1328c4cca531318e3ed90c6aecb522a5b22a4bcc, when building the system
image, it tries to bootstrap the world? When running the previous
command without the "-n", it returns the exact same error posted
by GNUtoo, which is failed at building gawk-mesboot, which doesn't
support aarch64-linux at the moment.

Are these logs sufficient?

Hello, bumping this issue since there has been no activity for a while
and this error is still present. I get the exact same error as Denis
when building any Pine64 images. Building with --system=aarch64-linux
instead of --target=aarch64-linux-gnu works, but this is very much
slower.

This probably has nothing to do with the bootstrap packages. I noticed
that the CI succeeds in building the pine64 image:

The difference is that the CI is building without grafting. Disabling
grafting locally, seems to do the trick as well:

Toggle snippet (3 lines)
./pre-inst-env guix system image gnu/system/images/pine64.scm --no-grafts

The issue seems to be that grafting ends-up dragging the bootstrap
packages into the closure when cross-compiling which is quite scary.

I could narrow it down somehow.

This commands drags the bootstrap and fails:

Toggle snippet (3 lines)
guix build --target=<any-target> alsa-lib

while this one doesn't:

Toggle snippet (3 lines)
guix build --target=<any-target> alsa-lib --no-grafts

Not sure how to go further. Adding Ludo and Efraim.

Hello,

Starting from alsa-lib, I narrowed it down further. I found that the
problem is actually when an input of the package uses copy-build-system.

In the following example, the cross-compilation (with
--target=x86_64-linux-gnu) for testp2 and testp3 works fine. Their
respective inputs are testinput2 (built with trivial-build-system) and
the hello package (built with gnu-build-system).
For testp1 however, whose input testinput1 is created
with copy-build-system, the same thing as for alsa-lib (which depends on
two packages built with copy-build-system) happens: Bootstrap packages
are starting to be built if grafts are used. The outputs of both
testinput1 and testinput2 do not contain store references, so that is
not the issue. It is also no problem to build the packages testinput1,
testinput2 or hello with grafts.

Is there something special about copy-build-system which is not the case
for trivial-build-system and gnu-build-system? I noticed that in
(guix build-system trival) and (guix build-system gnu), there is a
special case for cross-compilation, while in (guix build-system copy),
the same code is used as for a normal build. I don't see why this could
cause an issue with grafts though.

I spent some time digging into the rabbit hole. After changing
the lower function of the copy-build-system to look more like the
lower function of the gnu-build-system, I'm able to cross compile
alsa-lib without the --no-grafts flag. The changes I made are
like:

Can we put everything inside build-inputs? From my understanding,
copy-build-system shouldn't care about cross-compilation at all.

Any feedback on this would be really helpful.

Hi dan,

sorry for the late reply. I didn't yet find the reason why different
bootstrap packages are built for the cross build when grafts are
applied. This seems possibly like another bug to me, as the package
inputs which use copy-build-system do not contain store references and
it does not happen when they themselves are built with grafts.

I understand it that way too. In guix/build-system.scm, it is mentioned
that build/host/target are used in the sense of the GNU toolchain [1].
There, "build" is the system used for building and "host" is the target
system for which the package is built. I guess this was confused when
copy-build-system was added [2].

Cheers,
David

Intuitively, if ‘copy-build-system’ is about copying
architecture-independent files, then it should do the same thing whether
or not we are cross-compiling.

However, users can and do add phases whose result is
architecture-dependent. Small sample:

• ‘desec-certbot-hook’ captures a reference to curl, so it would get
the wrong one when cross-compiling if we assumed build-inputs =
host-inputs.

• ‘chez-scheme-for-racket-bootstrap-bootfiles’ builds stuff when
cross-compiling. Philip, could you explain the intent and what you
expect here?

So it would seem we can’t just assume everything is a native input like

Now, as David and you found out, the use of inputs in
build-system/copy.scm:lower is bogus. It seems that it can be fixed by
following the intended definition of build/host inputs, as David
suggested:

But wait! That’s all theoretical because the bag always has (target #f)
and ‘copy-build’ bundles build and host inputs together, as if doing a
native build.

So it seems like https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70492(putting everything
in ‘build-inputs’) is OK, after all.

But still, there seem to be some expectation that ‘copy-build-system’
can support cross-compilation for real, so maybe we should add a
‘copy-cross-build’ procedure in addition to the patch above.

Thoughts?

Hello,

I think I finally understand why the problem only occurs with grafts if
a dependency uses copy-build-system. It is actually somewhat
complicated.

When a package is lowered into a derivation by 'package->derivation' in
guix/packages.scm, a list of potentially applicable grafts is created by
the 'bag-grafts' procedure.
This works by first traversing the bag for native packages (where
bag-build-inputs and bag-target-inputs are followed recursively; and
also bag-host-inputs if not cross building) and building the native
derivations of the grafted versions of the packages which have a
replacement (such as glibc at the time of writing). Building the grafted
package (in the 'input-graft' procedure) is done again with
'package->derivation', which eventually calls 'graft-derivation' in
guix/grafts.scm, which in turn calls 'non-self-references', where the
ungrafted package is actually built (ignoring the store monad
indirection), not just its derivation.
In the case of cross builds, the bag is also traversed for the target
dependencies, where the bag-host-inputs are followed recursively.
Analogously, this causes the ungrafted packages and their ungrafted
replacement to be cross built to compute the grafted derivations.

As dan found out, the 'lower' procedure in guix/build-system/copy.scm
incorrectly puts standard-packages into the host inputs. They contain
the glibc-final package in gnu/packages/commencement.scm (which inherits
the replacement of glibc). Because copy-build-system puts them into
bag-host-inputs, the package replacement of the glibc-final package is
then cross built without grafts when calculating its grafted derivation,
which it does not support. Note that the glibc-final package and its
package replacement are distinct from the glibc package and its
replacement in gnu/packages/base.scm. I confirmed this by running
Toggle snippet (3 lines)
,use (guix)
(with-store store (run-with-store store (package->cross-derivation (package-replacement (@@ (gnu packages commencement) glibc-final)) "i686-linux-gnu" #:graft? #f)))
in the REPL, which returns the same incorrect glibc derivation that is
attempted to be built as a dependency when running
`guix build alsa-lib --target=i686-linux-gnu`.

It is actually possible to compute the graft derivations only when
needed by a store reference (which does not change the derivation of the
grafted package). Then, this problem does not occur even without the fix
for the copy-build-system, as the invalid derivations are never actually
built. With substitutes or after running GC, this may even prevent
building a package with replacement when the requested package output
which (transitively) depends on it has no (transitive) store reference
to it. I made a patch for that here: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70895

Regarding the changes to the copy-build-system:

In guix/build-system/copy.scm, it is described as an extension of
gnu-build-system and the manual says "It adds much of the
gnu-build-system packages to the set of inputs. Because of this, the
copy-build-system does not require all the boilerplate code often needed
for the trivial-build-system."
Therefore, I think it makes sense to add the copy-cross-build procedure
so that copy-build-system actually behaves like gnu-build-system.

Cheers,
David
