Compile Error: missing section for relocation target type..FEeY9FdU

[csqshz]

Consu version

v1.4.3 and v0.7, I didn't try other releases.

Golang version

==go-1.12==. It is ok with other releases, but failed with go-1.12.

Error info

# github.com/hashicorp/consul/connect/certgen
type..eUfRrckI: missing section for relocation target type..FEeY9FdU
type..eUfRrckI: reloc 8 (R_CALL) to non-elf symbol type..FEeY9FdU (outer=type..FEeY9FdU) 49 (SABIALIAS)

How to reproduce

Build consul by Yocto Project.

1. ~$: git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
2. ~$: cd poky/
3. ~/poky: git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-cloud-services
   ~/poky: git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-virtualization
   ~/poky: git clone git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
4. ~/poky: source ../oe-init-build-env
5. ~/poky/build: vi conf/bblayers.conf
   Add six paths to BBLAYERS:
   BBLAYERS ?= " \
   /ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky-qcon/meta
   /ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky-qcon/meta-poky
   /ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky-qcon/meta-yocto-bsp
   /ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky-qcon/meta-virtualization
   /ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky-qcon/meta-cloud-services
   /ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky-qcon/meta-openembedded/meta-python
   /ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky-qcon/meta-openembedded/meta-networking
   /ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky-qcon/meta-openembedded/meta-filesystems
   /ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky-qcon/meta-openembedded/meta-oe
   "
6. bitbake consul
   This command will build consul and its dependencies.
   Then the issue will prompt when doing do_compile of consul.

Extract main compile command from prject script:

121 go_do_compile() {
122     export TMPDIR="/ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky/build/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/consul/git-r0/go-tmp"
123     if [ -n "github.com/hashicorp/consul/..." ]; then
124         if [ -n "-linkshared" ]; then
125             echo "------"
126             x86_64-poky-linux-go install -p 128 -v -ldflags="-r /usr/lib/go/pkg/linux_amd64_dynlink  -extldflags ' -m64 -march=core2 -mtu    ne=core2 -msse3 -mfpmath=sse -fstack-protector-strong  -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security --sysroot=/    ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky/build/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/consul/git-r0/recipe-sysroot -Wl,-rpath-link=/ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky/build/tmp/    work/core2-64-poky-linux/consul/git-r0/recipe-sysroot/usr/lib/go/pkg/linux_amd64_dynlink -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--as-needed -fs    tack-protector-strong -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now'" -buildmode=pie `go_list_packages`
127             rm -rf /ala-lpggp22/hsong/poky/build/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/consul/git-r0/build/bin
128         fi
129         echo "======="

131     fi
132 }

Analysis

It failed at above code line:130 with -linkshared argument.
It will pass if delete -linkshared.

The error info come from:

golang/src/cmd/link/internal/ld/data.go: func relocsym(ctxt *Link, s *sym.Symbol)

I suspect it is relatd to my environment.

I have no enough knowledge about relocation. So anyone can give me some direction on how to trace or fix the issue?

Thanks.

I found the following commit introduced the issue.
Golang: 685aca45dc8435df7b7e8059a42a8a98efdaf22c

[pearkes]

I think this is out of scope for us @csqshz. We'll continue to build for all platforms possible with Golang minus a few that are incompatible with various libraries we use, but can't go beyond that.

Consul does build with 1.12.1 today, if that helps.
