clang-3.4: error: invalid version number in '-mlinker-version=6.'

[pulsiferpe]

On a MacBook Pro, OSX 10.8.5, Xtools 5.1.2, I run

sudo port upgrade outdated

immediately goes to

--->  Computing dependencies for clang-3.4
...
--->  Building clang-3.4
Error: Failed to build clang-3.4: command execution failed

Looking at the log, it appears that this is the error:

:info:build clang: error: invalid version number in '-mlinker-version=6.'

I'll attach the log to the ticket.

Yeah, I've seen this too lately, on occasion:

Which version of ld64 are you using? This should tell us.

port -v installed | grep ld64

The current version of ld64 (ld64-latest) seems to be giving clang-3.4 trouble. To fix this myself, on 10.6.8, I briefly downgraded my ld64 to ld64-127 (default for 10.6.8), rebuilt clang-3.4, and then re-enabled ld64-latest.

[pulsiferpe]

ld64 @3_3+ld64_274+universal (active) platform='darwin 12' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2020-06-12T20:14:57-0400' ld64-274 @274.2_0+llvm37+universal (active) platform='darwin 12' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2020-06-12T20:14:55-0400'

[kencu (Ken)]

Hmmmmmm..... not making sense.

As an experiment, could you remove this extra little bit I added to the Portfile a while back, and see if it builds?

if { !${use_xcode} && ![file exists ${configure.developer_dir}/SDKs] } {
    use_xcode yes
}

to do that, you

bbedit `port file clang-3.4`

remove that bit, and save the file. Then try rebuilding clang again.

[pulsiferpe]

Hmm - looks like that did it! The build took about an hour, but it seems to be successful. (I'm glad it worked, because I did not succeed in installing ld64-127.) Thanks!

[kencu (Ken)]

well, heck -- now to see how we sort our way out of this one... thanks!
