Hi,
As demonstrated in the following email thread, the powerpc64-linux
bootstrap-tarballs are not reproducible when cross-compiled from an
x86_64-linux system:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-06/msg00003.html
Four people attempted to invoke the following command using Guix commit
8159ce1970d91567468cf1bacac313099a009d2a:
guix build --no-substitutes --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu bootstrap-tarballs
All of the bootstrap tarballs except for gcc-stripped were reproducible.
However, these attempts produced four different versions of
gcc-stripped-5.5.0-powerpc64-linux-gnu.tar.xz. At least two of the
attempts were performed on two different x86_64-linux systems.
The derivation that produced the differing output was:
/gnu/store/pygln3lr6qbxcps3kmn3w4bc0d0nlpd3-gcc-stripped-tarball-5.5.0.drv
You can build this derivation in a variety of ways, for example:
guix build --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu -e '(@ (gnu packages make-bootstrap)
%gcc-bootstrap-tarball)'
or just
guix build
/gnu/store/pygln3lr6qbxcps3kmn3w4bc0d0nlpd3-gcc-stripped-tarball-5.5.0.drv
On my x86_64-linux system, twice I tried running "guix build --check" on
this derivation, but each time it surprisingly reported no difference.
Out of paranoia, I tried deleting its output with "guix gc --delete",
and then building it again. The new output was, indeed, identical to
the old output. This makes me think that the non-reproducibility is
coming from something outside the immediate build logic of the
gcc-stripped-tarball-5.5.0.drv derivation itself.
I will next try to rebuild everything from scratch again. I will also
try to get copies of the differing outputs from the people involved in
that email thread, in order to run diffoscope on them.
