I am getting the following error while running make for glibc.

[robert@localhost glibc-build]$ make >>glibcmake.text

Any idea what is wrong.

Ok. I may be on to something but am most likely wrong, but I checked a bunch of files mainly the ones from above and a few others and all the error messages have something to do with the file 'vfprintf.c' . I have been, however, unable to find any reference to '__GI_ ' in any form. The change log says the following "sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/syscalls.list: Remove __GI_*
aliases, already added by make-syscalls.sh." Any ideas.

Okay now I'm downloading GLIBC again and am going to try compile it again unless sombody can help.

I reinstalled from a different directory and got passed the make stage with no errors. But when I run make check I get the following:

gcc: unrecognized option `-static-libgcc'

/usr/bin/ld:/home/robert/glib-build/libc.so.lds:109: parse error

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

gcc: file path prefix `/home/robert/glib-build/csu/' never used

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/robert/glibc-2.3.2'

Will await response,
