Glibc 2.3.1 build causes segfaults with static bash

mdh · 11-10-2002, 09:37 PM

Greetings all,

Though probably not that appropriate to this list ( with LFS 4 using glibc-2.2.5 ) I was wondering if anyone has had any success building glibc-2.3.x from their chrooted environment.

From what I can gather there have been changes to libnss and the storage of locales and this seems to upset my static built bash causing it to segfault...

If anyone has come up with a way around this, I'd really appreciate some help :-)

Found a fix...

In glibc-2.3.1/ctype/ctype-info.c, comment out all "compat_symbol" lines.
Static bash no longer segfaults.

GCC also needs a patch for rebuilding under 2.3.1

Arghhh, should have checked the lfs-dev archives :-)

Also noticed there could be issues with Sun Java 1.3.1 using __libc_wait (listed as PRIVATE in glibc-2.3.1)

apparently j2sdk 1.4.1 should be OK...
