I attempted to build on a ppc the latest glibc, and a header failure occured. The emerge output is below. 2.3.6-r3 works, and I'm trying r4 know -- it's far past this failure. emerge --info at bottom. Here's my attempt to build. It fails with "this configuration requires -mlong-double-128 IBM extended format support." I'd post it, but bugzilla is rejecting my description as too long, and I can't find the attachment feature. emerge --info: Portage 2.1-r1 (default-linux/ppc/2005.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 ppc) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 ppc 7450, altivec supported Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=7450 -maltivec -mabi=altivec" CHOST="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=7450 -maltivec -mabi=altivec" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache confcache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" LINGUAS="en_US en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="ppc X a52 aac aalib alsa altivec arts artswrappersuid audiofile bash-completion berkdb binfilter bitmap-fonts browserplugin bzip2 cairo cdb cdparanoia cdr cli crypt cups curl dbus dga directfb djbfft djvu dlloader dmx doc dri dts dv dvd dvdread dvi eds emacs emboss encode esd ethereal evo evolution expat extrafilters fam fame ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran ftp gamin gd ggi gif gimpprint gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal howl idn ieee1394 imagemagick imlib isdnlog java jpeg kde lame lapack lcms libcaca libwww live lzo mad mikmod mime mjpeg mmap mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg nas nautilus ncurses network nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive ogg oggvorbis openal opengl osc oss pam pcre pdf pdflib perl plotutils png ppds pppd python qt quicktime readline reflection sdl session sharedmem sockets speex spell spl ssl svg symlink t1lib tcltk tcpd tetex theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l v4l2 vcd vidix vorbis vorbix wmf xine xml xml2 xmms xorg xprint xv xvid yv12 zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux linguas_en_US linguas_en userland_GNU video_cards_nv video_cards_vga video_cards_vesa video_cards_fbdev" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Created attachment 91670 [details] emerge output from sys-libs/glibc-2.4.6-r3 failure Oh, I see, here's the attachment. Sorry, haven't filed a bug report before.
Won't work - you need gcc-4.1 for this. I.e. - actually _switch_ to gcc-4.1.1, not only install it. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 138967 ***
