[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1054259: nodejs: cannot bootstrapped nodejs

Source: nodejs
Version: 18.13.0+dfsg1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Bootstrapping nodejs version 18 FTBFS for me. There seems to be a couple
of different issues when bootstrapping:

1) The created node binary fails with an error about the externalized
builtins not being found. This renders the binary useless. This also
causes an error in the bootstrap process, override_dh_auto_build-arch
fails with:

    Cannot load externalized builtin: "internal/deps/cjs-module-lexer/lexer:/usr/share/nodejs/cjs-module-lexer/lexer.js".
     1: 0x7f06454026cc node::Abort() [/mnt/_build/nodejs-18.13.0+dfsg1/out/Release/libnode.so.108]
     2: 0x7f06453e1f1d  [/mnt/_build/nodejs-18.13.0+dfsg1/out/Release/libnode.so.108]

     7: 0x7f06478432ca  [/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2]
    Aborted (core dumped)


2) dh_install fails with:
    
    dh_install: warning: Cannot find (any matches for) "./<@(node_builtin_shareable_builtins)" (tried in ., debian/tmp)
    dh_install: warning: nodejs missing files: ./<@(node_builtin_shareable_builtins)
    dh_install: error: missing files, aborting


I have a couple of patches which works around these issues and can create
a bootstrapped nodejs (I can share my patches if that is useful); but the
created binary is useless due to the "Cannot load externalized builtin"
error.

Thanks!
