Assertation comes from ld, which comes from package binutils and source file is elf32-arm.c.
Comment above assert is

If the output has no requirement about FP hardware, follow the requirement of the input.

FP=floating point
I don't know what are these requirements, what they should be, where or how they should be defined.

*when gcc and binutils are used?

Assertation is easily disabled, just remove mentioned line on mentioned file and recompile binutils. It will work same way after that, without nagging. But there might be good reason for that assertation failing and that should be fixed.

Could it be possible to, at least, upgrade the OBS and Scratchbox to gcc4.4?

That would be a point to start with. Rebuild CSSU, then start rebuildong some application in extras-devel, finally every new application pushed to extras could then be built with a newer version of the compiler.

Here is how to add the harmattan repository. Libstdc++6 v4.4 is out there.

I'm downloading Aapo's stuff, and will check it out.

EDIT: has anyone tried installing this directly on device?

Has anyone tried to compile libc6 >= 2.10?
I managed to run lots of harmattan apps using meego binaries + Aapo's libstdc++6, but now newer libc6 is missing. Binary ver. from meego not working

I'm on it, namely on trunk of elibc (version > 2.15). I'm not fully tested results or checked steps, but here comes sketch how it should go (my vision).

(I have binutils2.22 installed, not sure is it needed. More info later)

You need newer gcc than 4.2.

Libc needs autoconf2.68.

Autoconf2.68 needs:
m4 1.4.13, but we have only 1.4.8-2.
pkg-config 0.26, but we have only 0.22

Compiling m4 1.4.13:
Based on ubuntu 12.04 package
lower dependency of texi2html

Code:

#this check is failing
rm ./checks/005.command_li
#this test is failing
rm ./tests/test-spawn-pipe.sh

Installing m4

Code:

fakeroot dpkg -i

Compiling pkg-config 0.26
Based on ubuntu 12.04 package
Fetch debian/rules from Fremantles version

installing pkg-config

Code:

fakeroot dpkg -i ../pkg-config_0.26-1ubuntu1_armel.deb
#outside of scratchbox
sudo rm /scratchbox/devkits/autotools-legacy/bin/pkg-config
sudo ln -s /scratchbox/users/`whoami`/targets/FREMANTLE_ARMEL/usr/bin/pkg-config /scratchbox/devkits/autotools-legacy/bin/pkg-config

Compiling autoconf2.68
Based on ubuntu 12.04 package

Code:

echo 5 > /debian/compat

Installing autoconf

Code:

fakeroot dpkg -i ../autoconf_2.68-1ubuntu2_all.deb
#outside of scratchbox
sudo rm /scratchbox/devkits/autotools-legacy/bin/autoconf
sudo ln -s /scratchbox/users/`whoami`/targets/FREMANTLE_ARMEL/usr/bin/autoconf /scratchbox/devkits/autotools-legacy/bin/autoconf

Compiling eglibc

Code:

svn co svn://svn.eglibc.org/branches/eglibc-2_14 eglibc
mkdir eglibc_build
cd eglibc_build
CC=gcc-4.6 ../eglibc/libc/configure --enable-add-ons=nptl,../eglibc/ports --prefix=/opt/
make

@marmistrz Four weeks ago you advised me how to get binutils2.22 to the repository, now I'm trying to achieve it (some issues with autobuilder).

Package name is binutils2.22 (no conflicts with existing package names). It's files goes to the /usr/binutils2.22/bin, /usr/binutils2.22/lib and ... (no conflicts with existing files). And name of binaries is still as expected, e.g. ld.

And it is used:

Code:

PATH=/usr/binutils2.22/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/binutils2.22/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Could you upload some binaries as soon as you have 'em?
I could test whether it works with forum-tmo from meego.

eglibc-svn-r18520 (2012-05-12 18:44:41)
http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/maemo/libc.so

It seems to work when used with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I don't know how to overwrite system's libc (system reboots when I tried).

When put to /opt/meecolay/lib, named libc.so.6 (and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to this)
this gives Segmentation fault.

Even running meecolay, which is just a modified /usr/bin/preenv script. (diff. vars & preloads) there is Segmentation fault

The same happens with MeeGo's libc6 (2.10 or 2.9 iirc)

is newer libstdc++ > 4.6 required or some other lib?
