The CONFIGURE_ARGS in the Makefile for devel/glibc specifies --enable-kernel=$(KERNEL_VERSION), and KERNEL_VERSION is set to 2.4.19 because that is the kernel version that is built for the LNX-BBC. What this option does is tell glibc what is the earliest version of the kernel it will need to work with. If your build box is running a version earlier than 2.4.19, you will get a "kernel too old" error because as far as glibc's build system knows, you're building glibc for native use on the build box. To work around this obstacle, I suggest editting devel/glibc/Makefile, replacing "$(KERNEL_VERSION)" with the kernel version that you have running on your build box. 'uname -r' will give you the information you need. -- --< ((\))< >----< [email protected] >----< http://www.movealong.org/ >-- The general miseducation of the population of the United States has led to a reassertion of simple platitudes as political discourse. pub 1024D/05A058E0 2002-03-07 Nate Riffe (06-Mar-2002) <[email protected]> Key fingerprint = 0DAC F5CB D182 3165 D757 C466 CD42 12A8 05A0 58E0
