Issues while creating Swift 5.1 docker image for PPC64LE using docker build

I am trying to build a docker image for Swift 5.1 on ppc64le using "docker build" command.

I am encountering the following issues while building Dockerfile using Docker version 18.06.1-ce.
However no errors are encountered for Docker version 1.12.1, and the entire toolchain gets built successfully with the same Dockerfile.

This is might be due to the Security Options in Docker version 18.06.1-ce.
These can be avoided for 'docker run' commands by passing following parameters, however the same is not available for 'docker build' command:-
docker run --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE --security-opt seccomp=unconfined --security-opt apparmor=unconfined -it --name swift_51 ubuntu:16.04 /bin/bash
Inside the container created in the above "docker run", I was able to successfully build entire Swift 5.1 toolchain including the entire test suite.

Following is the detailed error:-

I did have a look at docker artifacts at Docker Hub && GitHub - apple/swift-docker: Docker Official Image packaging for Swift. However these Dockerfiles download prebuilt release tar files and set them up, while I want my Dockerfile to download the swift-5.1-branch source and build the image from swift source.

I also tried the following on the host node and the docker containers while building using Dockerfile in order to enable ptrace:-
(As per Protect against ptrace of processes: kernel.yama.ptrace_scope)
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
sed -i 's/kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 0/kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 1/g' /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf
sysctl -p

However these too does not work and still encountering the same failure.

Is there any other way I could build a docker image from Swift source using docker build command?
Any help/inputs would be greatly appreciated.

The error message error: failed to launch REPL process: process launch failed: 'A' packet returned an error: 8 does indicate that the container doesn't have the required privileges so if the REPL tests require those you will either have to find a way to build with those privileges (sorry, I don't know how to do this) or disable those tests.

I'm curious, why do you want to build a toolchain inside Docker? It's not the approach we've taken for the x86-64 images as you've seen.

I have the exact same issue. I’m trying to build Swift 5.1 for Debian Stretch (I’ve done all releases since 4.2 Docker Hub).

I try and build in a Docker to have a reproducible environment and not have a dedicated server just to build Swift. Until now it worked, but I updated Docker and now it doesn’t.

Will try and solve this issue and report back if I do. Otherwise will use a dedicated server to create my images…

Found an ugly fix:

bash# cat /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
    "seccomp-profile": "/etc/docker/seccomp.json"
}
bash# cat /etc/docker/seccomp.json
{}

Not elegant, I know, but it works!
