build: depends sqlite compile failure for FreeBSD Clang cross

Using master (919e6d01e93a57d991ed456bc67c43605583ada8) and doing something like:

0make -C depends/ HOST=aarch64-unknown-freebsd CC=clang CXX=clang++ CFLAGS="--sysroot=/path/to/sysroot/ " CXXFLAGS="--sysroot=/path/to/sysroot/ -stdlib=libc++" LDFLAGS="-fuse-ld=lld" AR=llvm-ar STRIP=llvm-strip NM=llvm-nm RANLIB=llvm-ranlib NO_QT=1

Results in:

Does adding

0$(package)_cppflags_freebsd+=-DHAVE_MREMAP=0

to depends/packages/sqlite.mk help?

I can’t test myself easily, so not sure if that will simply progress onto another error…

When I run this on Ubuntu 24.04.3 I get:

0$ make -C depends/ HOST=aarch64-unknown-freebsd CC=clang CXX=clang++ CFLAGS="--sysroot=/path/to/sysroot/ " CXXFLAGS="--sysroot=/path/to/sysroot/ -stdlib=libc++" LDFLAGS="-fuse-ld=lld" AR=llvm-ar STRIP=llvm-strip NM=llvm-nm RANLIB=llvm-ranlib NO_QT=1

The OP is a bit scarce. Have this worked before? Is it a recent regression? In what environment to run the above command to reproduce the error?

Cross-compiling for freebsd from linux using clang is just currently untested/unused.

This branch includes a patch to fix sqlite use of mremap and a build script demonstrating a freebsd crosscompile from linux using clang and a freebsd sysroot:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/compare/master...willcl-ark:bitcoin:cross-compile-freebsd-depends

(tested with clang18 and freebsd 14.2 and 14.3 only).

If we moved to using clang in the guix builds a similar process could perhaps be used to provide freebsd (and other) release binaries.
