Unable to install erlang 21.3.8.17 with asdf
I’ve been having issues installing older erlang versions recently and I’m not sure if I’ve broken something in my development environment. I’m trying to install erlang 21.3 with:
asdf install erlang 21.3.8.17
But it is failing with:
Build failed.

Looking at the build log it looks like the issue is that ld is failing:

Are other people getting similar errors? Does this point to an issue with my environment somehow?

Okay, for me on Arch Linux after installing the gcc-9 package this command worked:
env CC=gcc-9 asdf install erlang 21.3.8.17

I tried the same command asdf install erlang 21.3.8.17
with some relevent envs from Build Fails on macOS 10.15 Catalina · Issue #116 · asdf-vm/asdf-erlang · GitHub
export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--without-javac --with-ssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)"
export CFLAGS="-O2 -g -fno-stack-check"
Output
asdf install erlang 21.3.8.17
