Compiling rust on OSX fails with Assertion failed: ((unsigned)Val < Attribute::EndAttrKinds && "Attribute out of range!")

[xasmx]

Trying to compile latest rust (fresh clone from git) from master (487e58c) on OS X 10.8.5.

You see the failed command there:

ar r x86_64-apple-darwin/stage1/lib/rustc/x86_64-apple-darwin/lib/libstd-6425b930ca146ae9-0.9-pre.rlib x86_64-apple-darwin/stage1/lib/rustc/x86_64-apple-darwin/lib/std.bc

If you run it as:

ar rS x86_64-apple-darwin/stage1/lib/rustc/x86_64-apple-darwin/lib/libstd-6425b930ca146ae9-0.9-pre.rlib x86_64-apple-darwin/stage1/lib/rustc/x86_64-apple-darwin/lib/std.bc

does it succeed?

[xasmx]

Yes, with 'ar rS' the command succeeds. If I try to 'make' after that to continue building, it'll end up failing again at the same line for the same reason, so I guess I need to make the change somewhere in the Makefile to get further.

[alexcrichton]

Thanks for confirming! I've opened #10908 to always run 'rS' instead of just 'r' in these situations.

This issue still persists on OSX 10.9 at HEAD on ~master (commit 54a85d4d675a7129087a2c342ac09a14d446c5cc as of right now):
