Hmm. I now see that there actually was a recent change to that ARG_MAX workaround after all - #5776 which promised to "properly" fix response file generation to address problems they saw in #5775
barracuda156 commentedon Jul 24, 2026
Well, it certainly did not fix the issue properly, but if the change was Ninja-only, it does not explain non-Ninja build failure now.
martin-frbg commentedon Jul 24, 2026
Thought you could perhaps try if reverting that commit fixes the issue on your platform ?
barracuda156 commentedon Jul 24, 2026
@martin-frbg Looks like it does. I just edited CMakeLists, resumed build, and it installed. I will try clean build in a few min, anyway I need to build G4 kernels versions.
barracuda156 commentedon Jul 24, 2026
@martin-frbg Confirmed with clean build, reverting ca4d867 fixes it (without Ninja).
chris-se commentedon Aug 5, 2026
As the one who wrote the commit that caused this regression: my guess is that the
xargs -n 1024part in the workaround is too large a number of arguments for those old systems.I would suggest changing the
xargs -n 1024to something likexargs -n 200(to have at most 256 arguments including the ones always passed toar). Does that fix the issue?martin-frbg commentedon Aug 6, 2026
Curious if that were the case, as 1024 was already used in the version before your commit
chris-se commentedon Aug 6, 2026
I took another look at the log in #5332 and what appears to be the problem is the following:
So it's not actuallly
makeorninjagenerating a command line that's too long, because a response file is actually generate (@CMakeFiles/openblas_shared.rsp), but the problem is that the version ofgfortranreads the response file, and invokescollect2for linking, but just attempts to pass all arguments tocollect2directly (without passing a new response file tocollect2).This therefore appears to be an issue with how
gfortraninvokes the linker, and doesn't have anything to do with the build system itself. The more interesting question is: why/how did this ever work previously?(For me on newer macOS versions everything works because I don't compile the Fortran code, and use just Apple's XCode, where apparently the response files passed to the linker command do work as expected.)
The only easy way I see out of this is to rework the build system to some degree:
-fPIC). For building static libraries we have the workaround wherearcan update the static library archives to add more files in chunks, so thexargs -ntrick can be used to properly create a static library from all object files that are to be linked into the dynamic library.-force_load/-Wl,--whole-archive//WHOLEARCHIVE:(depending on the toolchain) to include the entire static library contents in the dynamic library.This way the linker command for the dynamic library (which is the one causing the problems here) will receive only a short list of arguments (typically less than a dozen), so that shouldn't ever be a problem, while the
arrepeated update loop viaxargstrick ensures that all source files are added.I can't test on a PPC Mac (I don't have one), but I can test on regular Windows, Linux and macOS; Windows/Linux on x86_64, and macOS on arm64. If you think this has some merit I can offer to take a look at this this weekend to try to implement this idea in a sane manner and provide a new pull request.
martin-frbg commentedon Aug 6, 2026
Given that it works with the previous (if perhaps imperfect) version of the ARG_MAX workaround, I'm more inclined to make your addition arm64-only and resurrect the old code for ppc and x86.
barracuda156 commentedon Aug 6, 2026
I can test something when needed, but it is desirable to minimize ppc rebuilds, it just takes quite a lot of machine time.
chris-se commentedon Aug 6, 2026
Looking at the previous code again: with Makefiles (but not with Ninja, which was my issue) this unconditionally enabled a (possibly temporary) static library on macOS instead of relying on the response file logic. So it basically already did what I suggested right now.
I don't have time today or tomorrow for this, but I'll take a look during the weekend and provide a pull request for this.

Hi.
I got the same build error - at 82% during the linking stage - when trying to upgrade a previously installed version from: OpenBLAS @0.3.33_1+gcc15+lapack to: OpenBLAS @0.3.34_0+gcc15+lapack via MacPorts on both macOS Sierra and Catalina.
I have posted a "manual" / workaround solution (including some basic diagnostic info about the dylib file) on the MacPorts website (see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/74336), that seems to work on both 'legacy' versions of macOS. It might be of use to you - the OpenBLAS developers - or not...
Is there a quick test that I can run to make sure the upgraded package contents - mainly header files and a dylib file - were correctly installed and built?
Thanks.
