Overview

Hello. 👋 With the recent Alpine Linux 3.17.2 patch release -- which includes OpenSSL security patches -- I'm no longer able to build an Alpine Linux Docker image with YJIT enabled for Ruby. Prior to the 3.17.2 patch release, I could build Ruby + YJIT without issue. Here's the error I'm seeing when building locally:

#0 409.6 gcc (Alpine 12.2.1_git20220924-r4) 12.2.1 20220924
#0 409.6 Copyright (C) 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

#0 421.7    24 | # error YJIT unsupported platform
#0 421.7       |   ^~~~~

...but what I see in the yjit.h source code is:

// We generate x86 assembly
#if defined(_WIN32) ? defined(_M_AMD64) : defined(__x86_64__)
// x86_64 platforms without mingw/msys or x64-mswin
#else
# error YJIT unsupported platform
#endif

...so AMD 64 should still be supported.

Steps to Recreate

Probably the simplest way to recreate this, locally, is to use my Docker project:

1. Run: git clone https://github.com/bkuhlmann/docker-alpine-ruby
2. Run: cd docker-alpine-ruby
3. Edit the top of the Dockerfile so it says: FROM bkuhlmann/alpine-base:2.0.3 (this ensures Alpine Linux 3.17.2 is being used).
4. Run docker build --platform linux/amd64 .
5. Wait for the build to fail.

Hello @bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann). Could you provide the full output of the ./configure script? We do support Linux and macOS on arm64 (though only from Ruby 3.2 onwards). We think the issue may be that you are accidentally cross-compiling, or that the system configuration is somehow not properly reflected inside the docker container.

[bkuhlmann (Brooke Kuhlmann)]

Hey Maxime. So, after you mentioned the cross-compiling issue, I got worried and ended up rebuilding my Docker Alpine Base image and then rebuilding my Docker Alpine Ruby on top of that build. I'm not exactly sure what went wrong in the build process but something must have failed when building the original image (despite no errors issued). I'm definitely cross-compiling when doing this. Here's the full command if you are curious:

docker build --platform linux/arm64,linux/amd64 .

This image is fully built on Alpine Linux 3.17.2 with Ruby 3.2.1 plus YJIT enabled. I have no errors now.

Feel free to close this issue due to user error. Sorry for the trouble but thanks for the prompt to help me resolve this. 🙇🏻‍♂️
