Floating stacks ?

Hi,


I am posting to this list  as I suppose that people interested in IA64
are not that far from being  interested in OpenMP stuff, and I did not
find any other suse list somehow specific on this issue.

The issue ist the following: we try to run the intel compiler 6.0 on a
Pentium4  with  Suse7.3 and  2.4.18  kernel.  When  switching over  to
OpenMP, we get segfaults in the  startup phase. The intel guys told us
that we would need a glibc with FLOATING_STACKS enabled, and gave us a
version. However just replacing the lib leads to a complete crash of
all other tools.

So I  suppose the issue is  more complex.  Do you  have any suggestion
(at least the  RTFM thing -- where  I can find out more)  ?  Could the
problem be resolved by compiling glibc by ourselves ?
