tools: gnulib: remove stale gl_-prefixed macros from staging

2026-08-19T17:46:46Z

Commit c820f097e0 ("tools: gnulib: install .m4 file with gl_ prefix") installed gnulib autoconf macros under gl_-prefixed file names. The scheme was later reverted in commit cda598a595, but the previously installed files were never removed from share/aclocal. As aclocal reads the whole directory, stale gl_*.m4 files can override the current unprefixed macros. This breaks elfutils builds on macOS after the gnulib stable-202507 update, resulting in empty #if expressions in the generated ctype.h. Remove the stale files in Host/Uninstall. Host/Install calls it first, so affected build trees are cleaned up automatically on the next gnulib reinstall.

[backport from Debian zip 3.0-16] https://sources.debian.org/data/main/z/zip/3.0-16/debian/patches/fix-command-injection.patch Info-ZIP 3.0 builds a shell command with the archive name when -T tests an archive. A crafted archive name can inject additional shell commands. Backport Debian's fix. Quote the archive name before it is added to the test command.

tools: elfutils: fix uio header inclusion

2026-08-04T07:17:53Z

Fixes arm64 build failures by replacing with POSIX to avoid header redefinition conflicts. gnulib's fcntl.h ends up including glibc's fcntl.h and fcntl-linux.h which includes glibc's types/struct_iovec.h, thats where the redefinition happens. the lines that use are antiquated and were never necessary. it can be traced back to the original 2014 change that added the file with aarch64 support in upstream commit 66637fa21044ac0058b25522f473669e73de328b it was never necessary to use the linux header over the glibc headers, as elfutils only needs the iovec struct and that struct was present since glibc 2.0 in the 1990s Signed-off-by: Paweł Owoc Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/24539 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

tools: gnulib: fix build with latest glibc C23 changes

2026-07-30T17:40:44Z

Backport a patch that covers a build problem with latest glibc being used as the host standard C library during tools build. The C23 standard changes some functions that used to drop qualifiers like "const" or "volatile" and are now forced to preserve them in the return type based on the input type at all times. Developers of glibc have responded by making these functions into macros after they are declared with prototypes. This is not compatible with the way gnulib is written, so when the functions are redeclared in gnulib, the preprocessor expands the _function name_ itself as if it is a macro name, but not fully, which results in unusual looking build errors, e.g. the failed processing of keywords that were never written and have no business being in a prototype, or, as a keyword that is expected to be there and nearly guarenteed to work but mysteriously is not working, displayed as: "error: expected identifier or '(' before _____". The backport patch introduces and implements a new macro in order to prevent function names from being interpreted as macros, by wrapping it in parentheses for C, or simply placing it back for C++ in the first stage of macro expansion which satisfies the goal of no further expansion taking place during preprocessing. Add an additional patch for the functions declared in the fts header, as this bug also applies to them, however, this was overlooked by upstream gnulib, likely because the bug is not presenting as an error. Yet another patch corrects the order between specifiers and attributes in GCC syntax for header lib/fts.in.h which can be blamed on an upstream commit. Specifically, the throw() or noexcept() keywords must be before attributes at the end of a declaration. There are two headers, lib/cdefs.h and lib/getopt-ext.h that already demonstrate the correct order which is very strictly necessary in the latest version of GCC when compiling C++ code, and acceptable for C code, as the "__THROW" macro is simply another attribute in that case.
