wasi-libc fails to link --target=wasm32-wasip1 with undefined symbol: __muloti4

[stefson]

hello everyone,

I used to bootstrap a wasm32-wasi toolchain for llvm-18, llvm-19, llvm-20 and llvm-21 without any issues. llvm-22 started to ask for wasm32-wasip1, but this fails:

This looks like you're using the old Makefile-based build system. Are you able to reproduce this with the repository as-is? If so can you share you reproduction steps?

[stefson]

I just read through the old makefile, is there even proper support for wasm32-wasip1 in there? All I can see is wasm32-wasip1-threads

There is no new cmake port for wasi-libc yet on my distro, I will try to learn how to compile it myself outside of the package manager env over the weekend.

If you're able to provide a reproduction using this repository I can try to help out, but if you're using a fork or an older version I won't be able to help myself at least.
