[SOLVED] 6.9 compiling glibc, fails on make due to undefined references in functions

nescalona · 04-03-2010, 01:17 AM

I'm using the latest LFS book, compiling glibc-2.11.1 for my system (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...r06/glibc.html). I'm also using Matthias Benkmann's package user setup for package management. (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hint...nd_pkg_man.txt) That means that I am not compiling glibc as root.

This is the end of the output from make, the things it was doing when it failed. As you can see: a lot of undefined references to things with names beginning with "__sync" in functions in libc_pic.os.

Thanks!

Note: unlike the guy here (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...11-1-a-798342/), I didn't have any trouble with this when I was building the toolchain in chapter 5.

Maybe this will help:

I did pass -march=i486 to the compiler. I appended it to CFLAGS using configparms, as detailed in the link to the LFS book page in my first post.

Code:

$ case `uname -m` in
> i?86) echo "CFLAGS += -march=i486 -mtune=native -O3 -pipe" > configparms ;;
> esac

EDIT: strange. the problem disappeared, not when i recompiled the second time, but when i recompiled the third time.

maybe it was a typo? sorry to waste y'all's time.

OK. Test gcc with this:

Code:

cd /tmp
cat > test.c << EOF
int main()
{
int a;
return __sync_bool_compare_and_swap(&a,0,1);
}
EOF
gcc test.c -o test -march=i486

If this gives an error, then you have compiled gcc without "--with-arch=486 or higher" as said here:
