Build errors: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 cannot be used against symbol 'vtable for std::bad_variant_access'

Hey there.

I'm attempting to build on WSL2 (Ubuntu 24.04) and I'm running into some issues.
Specifically, LLD throws a ton of errors regarding code relocation errors in hipRAND.
I have attached the relevant section from the build log.
logs_excerpt.txt

I've just followed the build instructions in the README - the only thing I've changed was disabling the windows PATH environment variable for the virtual machine.

While researching this error, I read that setting CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE to ON is a remedy when this issue crops up, but setting it at the top in the CMakeLists.txt and configuring the project again doesn't seem to change anything.

What am I missing? Is there a "proper" fix? I'd greatly appreciate your advice.

I just experienced this last night myself on a local build, but it was after a rebase where I had not cleared the prior state so I ignored it.

After I did a partial clean with:

ninja hipRAND+expunge rocRAND+expunge

it resolved itself. That didn't satisfy me as a root cause but it did mean that I lost my repro of the issue.

That did it for me, too. Thank you.

It doesn't satisfy me as a root cause. If I see it again, I'll dig in more. It's generally not always completely safe to re-use the build directory across version bumps, and when it breaks, step 1 is to nuke and start over right now -- unsatisfying as that may be.
