Hi, I'm building a gentoo based system on arm v7 32bit, using musl as my libc. I am hitting a compile error, that I have determined happens on 9.16.9 onwards, yet I can build fine with 9.16.8 and earlier

The specific error snippet I see is:

armv7a-unknown-linux-musleabihf-gcc -O2 -pipe -march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard -mno-unaligned-access -DDIG_SIGCHASE -pthread -fPIC -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -L/usr/lib -Wl,--export-dynamic -o sample-async \

I think this is related to this change here:

If I revert this change then my compile succeeds (although it may not be correct?)

I'm not really skilled enough to understand the details of gcc backtrace implementation on arm. I'm using gcc 10.3.0 to compile this, and I can see that I have a header:

/usr/lib/gcc/armv7a-unknown-linux-musleabihf/10.3.0/include/unwind.h

So I'm assuming that I have gcc compiled with some kind of unwind implementation?

I use a very similar profile to compile near identical code base for both amd64 and x86 architectures and both of those have no issues compiling latest bind-tools (and previous). Also, near as I can see I have my gcc configured identically across all three systems...

Now I can compile bind-tools ok if I install the libunwind library, however, that then breaks (re)compiling my gcc compiler, so I'm really thinking that's the wrong route to go down?

Temporarily I'm reverting the above change locally, but I wonder if you could either guide me to a correct solution, or if someone more knowledgeable can revert or write some correct #if test for this situation please?

I'm sure I have failed to provide enough details at this stage. Please be gentle...
