I need to compile libav library with AFLGO.

cd ~
export AFLGO=$PWD/aflgo
cd path/to/libav/folder
export SUBJECT=$PWD; export TMP_DIR=$PWD/obj-aflgo/temp
export CC=$AFLGO/afl-clang-fast
export CXX=$AFLGO/afl-clang-fast++
export COPY_CFLAGS=$CFLAGS
export COPY_CXXFLAGS=$CXXFLAGS
export ADDITIONAL="-targets=$TMP_DIR/BBtargets.txt -outdir=$TMP_DIR -flto -fuse-ld=gold -Wl,-plugin-opt=save-temps"
export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $ADDITIONAL"
export CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS $ADDITIONAL"
export LDFLAGS=-lpthread

./configure

it returns:

gcc is unable to create an executable file.
If gcc is a cross-compiler, use the --enable-cross-compile option.
Only do this if you know what cross compiling means.
C compiler test failed.

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
libav-tools@libav.org mailing list or IRC #libav on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "avbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.

I have checked config.log but it doesn't seem useful, these are the last lines:

....
gcc -targets=/home/ubuntu16/Documents/github-repos/libav/obj-aflgo/temp/BBtargets.txt -outdir=/home/ubuntu16/Documents/$
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-targets=/home/ubuntu16/Documents/github-repos/libav/obj-aflgo/temp/BBtar$
C compiler test failed.

why does this try compile it with gcc again? I want to instrument it with AFLGo fuzzer.

First, you should explicit specify the compiler and flags as follow:

./configure --cc=$CC --enable-lto --extra-ldflags="-flto -fuse-ld=gold -Wl,-plugin-opt=save-temps"

Otherwise, you can't compile the libav with AFLGo.

If you want to know other configure flags, try ./confiure --help

But after I have tried, the libav can't be compiled with the LTO (i.e. -flto), becasue the libav contains some asm instructions, and LLVM (clang) can not convert it to IR, which will cause error such as undefined reference at link time.

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

So you can't build libav with AFLGo because of the flaw of LLVM (clang)
