Guix build fails on M4 macOS host with Ubuntu in UTM #32759

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behaviour

Since #32431 my macOS (M4 using UTM) Guix builds no longer work:

0HOSTS="x86_64-linux-gnu" contrib/guix/guix-build
1...
2guix shell: error: while setting up the build environment: cannot set armhf-linux personality: Invalid argument

This seems to be something else than what I encountered on my native AMD Ubuntu machine: #32431 (comment)

But perhaps a common factor is that this PR pulled in a lot of new guix packages.

Expected behaviour

Guix build should work, it does on c8abd972818f83d90bf50b250131f338034460ef.

Steps to reproduce

See below

I tried to reproduce this (using docker and @fanquake’s alpine guix image) and got errors building gcc:

g6wxpn4yq37pvw5q4jzbqxq5l9rqhr-gcc-cross-x86_64-linux-gnu-13.3.0.drv.gz

(too big for most pastebins, read with zcat )

It is building gcc-cross and the tail is:

I will try again and see if I get the same error.

edit: It seems likely this may be an OOM (or similar) in the container. So I will try again using podman with more resources.

Ok I’ve tried this again twice more:
- M3-aarch64 host
- using podman
- both alpine and debian containers
- building with HOSTS=x86_64-linux-gnu
…and both runs, whilst a little slower than previously, completed successfully. @Sjors was your container totally fresh for your run, or has it been restored from some kind of saved state?
Sjors commented at 3:58 pm on June 18, 2025: member

@willcl-ark I’m using UTM: https://mac.getutm.app (not Podman or Docker)

Definitely not a fresh machine, it’s been making guix builds for while. I could make a fresh one if you can’t reproduce, but it’s a bit of a pain to setup a guix environment from scratch.
maflcko commented at 4:23 pm on June 18, 2025: member
What are the minimal steps to reproduce? Can you run a normal shell?

Sjors commented at 7:56 am on June 19, 2025: member

install UTM
create Ubuntu 24.10 machine
setup guix environment (method 4 of installing guix through apt)
- I don’t use substitutes, but it might not matter for this issue
checkout master @ c8abd972818f83d90bf50b250131f338034460ef and do a guix build; it should succeed
checkout any newer commit, it should fail

Sorry, I was asking for the isolated guix command that fails. This can help to see if the issue is guix related or bitcoin-core related.

I was thinking about the shell, because the error message says: guix shell: error: while setting up the build environment: cannot set armhf-linux personality: Invalid argument.

Maybe re-try via V=1 VERBOSE=1 MAX_JOBS=1 HOSTS=arm64-apple-darwin ./contrib/guix/guix-build to get a linear log?

That doesn’t reveal anything new unfortunately. With fed41b75fbfa6d14cce852863271b1fb0206eef0 checked out.

Does running the following work:
0guix build --system=armhf-linux hello
Sjors commented at 9:32 am on June 19, 2025: member
@fanquake that produces the same error, so I guess that’s useful info (and it’s independent of Bitcoin Core).

https://gist.github.com/Sjors/af35816417ead5a45956cda65b8456b8

I’m confused by what armhf-linux is doing though since I’m only trying to build HOSTS="x86_64-linux-gnu"

Additional info:

Sjors commented at 9:45 am on June 19, 2025: member

It happens for every --system I tried so far.

Maybe the issue has nothing to do with the specific new packages installed in #32431, but rather an inability of my guix system to add any new packages. I’ll try to test that scenario somehow…

It doesn’t seem that simple either, e.g. I can add something random and it builds fine:
