Thanks! I liked Christian's initial efforts in#96001; thanks for picking this up.

Instead of the grep exercises; what do you think of theprintf approach taken in the CMake-for-CPython project:https://github.com/python-cmake-buildsystem/python-cmake-buildsystem/blob/master/cmake/platform.c

That would require fully compiling the program (the current approach only requires the preprocessing step) and running it to get the output, which would not be feasible when cross-compiling.

My preference would be something similar toconfig.guess, where we output the triplet with a prefix likePLATFORM_TRIPLET= then grep for the prefix specifically (but withoutevaling the output). Would this be acceptable?

That's a good point.

Yeah, I would prefer something like that.

If you want to schedule another build, you need to add the🔨 test-with-buildbots label again.

Not sure if the buildbot errors are related to this change?

Yeah, unfortunately we'll have to examine each bot. I'll see if I can find time later. Feel free to take a look yourself :)

I have looked at every error log - while the errors do not look related to this change to me, I'm not familiar enough with the tests being run to say for certain.

Is there anything else I can do to help resolve the buildbot errors (perhaps update/rebase the branch)?

I did a fairly quick inspection of the buildbot run. Feel free to go through them as well (or even better a different subset).

As you see, there are some changes.

Also, I noticed this configure warning in the Gentoo Non-Debug buildbot (despite it getting thei386-linux-gnu triplet):

configure: WARNING: i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc is not supported

• PPC64LE * (was powerpc64le-linux-gnu, now powerpc-linux-gnu)
  This should be fixed
• PPC64 Fedora PR (was powerpc-linux-gnu, now powerpc64-linux-gnu) (build)
  I think the results are switched (was powerpc64-linux-gnu, now powerpc-linux-gnu) - the change is the same issue as with PPC64LE (and should also be fixed)
• x86 Gentoo Installed with X PR (was i686-pc-linux-gnu, now i386-linux-gnu) (build)
  I checked several previous builds and they all found i386-linux-gnu as the platform triplet (with i686-pc-linux-gnu as the build/host system type)

@jefferyto I've kicked off another buildbot run for your latest changes.

@AA-Turner thanks!

Thanks, Adam!@jefferyto, can you do an audit of the buildbot run when it completes? I won't be able to return to this until probably late next week.

Here are all the results:

I found no regressions, though I suppose this will need to be independently verified.

Wow, good job! Thank you so much. I'll try to find time to verify it the coming week.

@erlend-aasland ping 🙏

@corona10, do you want to have a look?

@tiran, if you are around; feel free to have a look :)

Okay I will take a look but please wait until this weekend ;)
