• Unstable (25.05)

Steps to reproduce

1. Build nodejs on RISC-V (RV64GC) hardware

Can Hydra reproduce this build failure?

Yes, Hydra can reproduce this build failure.

Link to Hydra build job

N/A as Hydra doesn't exist for riscv64-linux

Looks like nodejs/node#53115

[skeuchel]

This particular build failure is fixed by nodejs/node#52888 which is part of nodejs/node#56329 and #371908.

Unfortunately, after cherry-picking #371908 on master the checkPhase fails with:

We probably need this patch: nodejs/node@d0ff34f

[RossComputerGuy]

After #371908, I applied it to my system and got farther:

Failed tests:

Can you share what's the output of the failing tests? You can find it by searching all instances of not ok in the build output

[skeuchel]

@aduh95 Here is a current native build log for nodejs-slim_22 on staging. Albeit with vendor-specific xthead extensions in hostPlatform.gcc.arch: https://gist.github.com/skeuchel/60cf252ef249c460d899117a10e89984
