Version

Platform

fc45.ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux

Subsystem

No response

What steps will reproduce the bug?

Standard build

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always when default setup in node.gyp if LIEF settings remain set:

[ 'node_use_lief=="true" and node_shared_lief=="false"', {
          'defines': [ 'HAVE_LIEF=1' ],
          'dependencies': [ 'deps/LIEF/lief.gyp:liblief' ],
}],
[ 'node_use_lief=="true" and node_shared_lief=="true"', {
          'defines': [ 'HAVE_LIEF=1' ],
}],

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

Build succeeds.

What do you see instead?

Additional information

This issue has been present since version 25.5.0 since LEIF was added.

@tjuhaszrh What is the current status of this issue, Has it been fixed?

I've replicated this in our CI with gcc 12 (RHEL 9). FTR we're currently building Node.js 25 onwards with clang 19, where this doesn't occur.

I don’t think SEA is even supported on ppc? It might just need to be disabled there.
