Hit this error late in the build process on both 10.10 and 10.12, relevant excerpt:

If I restart the process without cleaning clang-4.0, the build continues for a bit, but eventually fails again:

Feel free to ignore the sh: /bin/ps: Operation not permitted message, that's a known trace mode issue but shouldn't cause issues.

I guess this failure is triggerd by cmake, since old reports of that (for other software) can be found every now and then.

Logfile of clang-4.0 on 10.10. First try, than second try without cleaning.

[Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)]

Turns out that this issue is not showing up in non-trace-mode builds. Adjusting ticket.

Replying to Ionic:

Error running link command: Invalid argument

I guess this failure is triggerd by cmake, since old reports of that (for other software) can be found every now and then.

I am seeing the same problem when building mariadb-10.2 (which uses cmake) in trace mode, with Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2) from Xcode 9.2 on macOS Sierra.

llvm-4.0 & clang-4.0 have been declared obsoleted in [7615202b212d36d0598b5775cb33020a916462ac/macports-ports].

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Still happens with modern clang, likely a bug in trace mode. Probably need some patching and printf debugging of CMake source to figure out what the problem is.

[chrstphrchvz (Christopher Chavez)]

Similar issue encountered for mysql8: #63455

[chrstphrchvz (Christopher Chavez)]

Possibly caused by CMake issue triggered by trace mode: #64368
