Package: glibc

Nick, I'm a GAR newbie and not on any of the lists.. So I'm throwing
this at you. Enjoy!

I think I've managed to stumble past the GLIBC_PRIVATE errors. The
secret is in RedHat's glibc specfile:

	BuildPreReq: libelf >= 0.7.0-2

So, the workaround for a RedHat 7.3 system was to install
libelf-0.7.0-2.i386.rpm prior to building glibc.

Why this is necessary is beyond the scope of my lazy brain...

I took one look at this hunk of their diff-CYGNUS-to-REDHAT.patch and
ran from the room screaming:

--- glibc-2.2.5-cygnus/version.h        27 Dec 2001 19:33:07 -0000
1.1.1.14
+++ glibc-2.2.5-redhat/version.h        26 Feb 2002 18:32:56 -0000
1.10
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
 /* This file just defines the current version number of libc.  */

-#define RELEASE "development"
-#define VERSION "2.2.90"
+#define RELEASE "stable"
+#define VERSION "2.2.5"

It's now time to deal with the next error building this thing in this
environment. Something about /usr/bin/ld: cannot find
//lib/libc_nonshared.a when it's sitting in /usr/lib.

../C

Looks like it's gone away.

----- Forwarded message from Bill Immerman <[email protected]> -----

I looked at text of this bug, since it involved building on a Redhat
7.x system which I do often. Lots of details about etiology of RH
libraries and patches that I have no interest in confirming/refuting
on my system. Bottom line is that I don't have this problem building
on my system, which is a current update to what was originally a RH
7.1. Since I'm neither maintainer nor reporter of the bug, don't know
when it should be closed, but if no one else using Red Hat to build
cares, I would go with closing...let someone open a new bug with
current libraries/gar if a similar problem recurs.
