Failure to build hid-fuzzer

[scheperdion]

I am experimenting with different fuzzing research using LKL so far so good. During one of these experiments I experienced a linker error related to KASAN/ASAN and wanted to retrace my steps and see what I did wrong. But I ended up with this new linker error.

These are the commands I executed on my Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS x86 host:

git clone https://github.com/lkl/linux.git
cd linux
make -C tools/lkl LKL_FUZZING=1 -j12 fuzzers

The following linker error is an excerpt of the full compiler output, liblkl builds succesfully as far as I can tell.

I can not remember that I have seen this one before while experimenting. Does someone here know where this is coming from? I am curious if this is reproducible for anyone or maybe obvious for someone that either my setup is incorrect or that that there is something missing?

#584 has the same issue, again Ubuntu 24.04.

[scheperdion]

When I redo my steps for commit 74da3bd then I get a successful built, at least for liblkl on 24.04. This is the commit I have been working from since january.
