#12798 F43 system-wide change: GNU Toolchain update for F43 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GNUToolchainF43
Closed: Fixed by jnsamyak. Opened by codonell.

Please note that we are not asking a new mass rebuild, just that the current F43 mass rebuild continue as planned.

  • Describe the issue

    • We are requesting a mass rebuild for the toolchain update to the latest gcc, binutils, glibc and gdb.
  • When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

    • By the mass rebuild scheduled date (2025-07-23)
  • When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

    • After the mass rebuild is complete (2025-07-23)
  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

    • gcc 15.2, binutils 2.45, glibc 2.42, gdb 17.1 would still be a part of F43, but some packages would not have been built against the updated components and may fail to build at a later date or require additional work to integrate correctly into GA.

Notes:

  • glibc has been doing weekly rawhide rebases from upstream for the last 6 months as usual and fixing integration issues as they arise.
  • binutils has been doing weekly rawhide rebases from upstream for the last 6 months and fixing integration issues as they arise.
  • gcc 15.2 is a point release and should not contain any high risk items.
  • gdb 17.1 is a new release but will only impact debuginfo modifications during the build.

Don't forget to add a trouble label for sizing!

Note that the f43 mass rebuild is next week. Hopefully everything is lined up for that?

@kevin We are "yellow" right now due to binutils not being ready.

  • gcc is ready, but has an update blocked in bodhi and we are working to resolve.
    • https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-504bee1c4b
  • glibc is ready, but will likely land one more update before next week.
    • https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-99fc8f17b9
  • binutils is NOT yet ready and under discussion with @nickc
    • https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-939dc3ca6c
  • gdb is ready (holding at 16.1 for now)
    • https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-d83957be34

Thanks for the detailed update. Let us know if we need to look at delaying the start any...

Metadata Update from @jnsamyak:
- Issue tagged with: mass rebuild

No blockers.

Confirmed with @jakub that gcc is ready, and can stay at the current gcc-15.1.1-2.fc43 while they work out https://gcc.gnu.org/PR120924 for the next update.

Confirmed with @nickc that binutils is ready, and binutils-2.44.90-1.fc43 is in Rawhide and ready for use.

Confirmed with @submachine that a new glibc update will land shortly with the final SFrame support.

We are now steady green for the mass rebuild next week.

Thanks for the updates! We will proceed with no blockers on the GCC end on Wednesday; https://pagure.io/releng/issue/12833
