## Question
I tried compiling llvm15 on Ubuntu with AArch64 architecture. However, I encountered the following problems:
### 1. `/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s`, some of the errors are as follows:
```auto
[build] [73/4456 0% :: 1.026] Linking CXX static library lib/clang/15.0.1/lib/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/libclang_rt.fuzzer_no_main.a
[build] FAILED: lib/clang/15.0.1/lib/aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu/libclang_rt.fuzzer_no_main.a
[build] : && /usr/bin/cmake -E remove lib/clang/15.0.1/lib/aarch64-unknown-linux- ........
[build] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s

......
```
### 2. Modify the CMakeLists .txt
I tried adding something like the following to the CMakeLists .txt llvm, but configure didn’t work.
```cmake
link_directories("/usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/9/" "/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/")
link_libraries("/usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/9/libgcc_s.so")
```
The same problem in `1` will appear.
Maybe there is a problem with what I added, and the specific subproject is configured like this. I took a screenshot below.
```cmake
add_compiler_rt_object_libraries(RTfuzzer_interceptors
OS ${FUZZER_SUPPORTED_OS}
ARCHS ${FUZZER_SUPPORTED_ARCH}
SOURCES FuzzerInterceptors.cpp
CFLAGS ${LIBFUZZER_CFLAGS}
DEPS ${LIBFUZZER_DEPS})
# Tries to add an "object library" target for a given list of OSs and/or
# architectures with name "." for non-Darwin platforms if
# architecture can be targeted, and "." for Darwin platforms.
# add_compiler_rt_object_libraries(
# OS
# ARCHS
# SOURCES
# CFLAGS
# DEFS
# DEPS
# ADDITIONAL_HEADERS )
function(add_compiler_rt_object_libraries name)
cmake_parse_arguments(LIB "" "" "OS;ARCHS;SOURCES;CFLAGS;DEFS;DEPS;ADDITIONAL_HEADERS"
${ARGN})
set(libnames)
if(APPLE)
foreach(os ${LIB_OS})
set(libname "${name}.${os}")
set(libnames ${libnames} ${libname})
set(extra_cflags_${libname} ${DARWIN_${os}_CFLAGS})
list_intersect(LIB_ARCHS_${libname} DARWIN_${os}_ARCHS LIB_ARCHS)
endforeach()
else()
foreach(arch ${LIB_ARCHS})
set(libname "${name}.${arch}")
set(libnames ${libnames} ${libname})
set(extra_cflags_${libname} ${TARGET_${arch}_CFLAGS})
if(NOT CAN_TARGET_${arch})
message(FATAL_ERROR "Architecture ${arch} can't be targeted")
return()
endif()
endforeach()
endif()
# Add headers to LIB_SOURCES for IDEs
compiler_rt_process_sources(LIB_SOURCES
${LIB_SOURCES}
ADDITIONAL_HEADERS
${LIB_ADDITIONAL_HEADERS}
)
foreach(libname ${libnames})
add_library(${libname} OBJECT ${LIB_SOURCES})
if(LIB_DEPS)
add_dependencies(${libname} ${LIB_DEPS})
endif()
# Strip out -msse3 if this isn't macOS.
set(target_flags ${LIB_CFLAGS})
if(APPLE AND NOT "${libname}" MATCHES ".*\.osx.*")
list(REMOVE_ITEM target_flags "-msse3")
endif()
# Build the macOS sanitizers with Mac Catalyst support.
if (APPLE AND
"${COMPILER_RT_ENABLE_MACCATALYST}" AND
"${libname}" MATCHES ".*\.osx.*")
foreach(arch ${LIB_ARCHS_${libname}})
list(APPEND target_flags
"SHELL:-target ${arch}-apple-macos${DARWIN_osx_MIN_VER} -darwin-target-variant ${arch}-apple-ios13.1-macabi")
endforeach()
endif()
set_target_compile_flags(${libname}
${extra_cflags_${libname}} ${target_flags})
set_property(TARGET ${libname} APPEND PROPERTY
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS ${LIB_DEFS})
set_target_properties(${libname} PROPERTIES FOLDER "Compiler-RT Libraries")
if(APPLE)
set_target_properties(${libname} PROPERTIES
OSX_ARCHITECTURES "${LIB_ARCHS_${libname}}")
endif()
endforeach()
endfunction()
```
### 3. Modify LD configuration - no permission
After a Google search, I found that I can modify the configuration file of LD, but the user I use does not have permission to modify the changed file and cannot execute `sudo`.
```auto
$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/aarch64-linux-gnu.conf
# Multiarch support
/usr/local/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu
/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu
```
### 4. Modify the environment variables for the current user
I tried to add libgcc\_s directory where .so is located to my current user’s LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH, and I still got an error in 1 when compiling.
## I need help!
Is there any other way to enable the ld linker to find ‘libgcc\_s.so’ when I can’t use sudo, yes, when compiling llvm via cmake? Or do I have a problem with the above workaround?
