Trying to run a cross-compiled x86 relocs tool on a BSD based HOSTCC leads to errors like VOFFSET arch/x86/boot/compressed/../voffset.h - due to: vmlinux CC arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.o - due to: arch/x86/boot/compressed/../voffset.h OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin - due to: vmlinux RELOCS arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.relocs - due to: vmlinux empty (sub)expressionarch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile:118: recipe for target 'arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.relocs' failed make[3]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.relocs] Error 1 It turns out that relocs.c uses patterns like "something(|_end)" This is not valid syntax or gives undefined results according to POSIX 9.5.3 ERE Grammar https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap09.html It seems to be silently accepted by the Linux regexp() implementation while a BSD host complains. Such patterns can be replaced by a transformation like "(|p1|p2)" -> "(p1|p2)?" Fixes: fd952815 ("x86-32, relocs: Whitelist more symbols for ld bug workaround") Signed-off-by: H.
