coreutils-8.26, undefined reference to `__asprintf_chk'
 
Compiling coreutils-8.26 with gcc-6.3.0 and linux-4.8.12,
I get this error:

It seams that coreutils does not need __asprintf_chk but linux in its files that are included.?
I think the question is what does linux expect to get the header definitions linked ? ....
O.K. it is glibc what else; the min. version I don`t know, but mine is to old for linux-4.8.12. Damn!

__asprintf_chk is available in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (at least for me), so probably -lc helps, but I don't know what is really missing from where.
include files are used only compile time, they are not linked (those are the shared objects, the .so files).

Compiling coreutils worked with:
Quote:

export CFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0"
even with
Quote:

export CFLAGS="-g -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1"
you'll get other checks fail.

so -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 worked for me.
