i'm trying to remerge glibc-2.3.5.20050722 previously built as: [ebuild R ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5.20050722 -build -erandom -glibc-compat20 +glibc-omitfp -hardened -linuxthreads-tls (-multilib) -nls +nptl +nptlonly +pic -profile (-selinux) +userlocales i'm dropping the nptlonly USE flag in order to build both linuxthreads and NPTL support and have hit this: ===== [...] * ABI: default * CBUILD: i686-pc-linux-gnu * CHOST: i686-pc-linux-gnu * CTARGET: i686-pc-linux-gnu * CBUILD_OPT: * CTARGET_OPT: * CC: * CFLAGS: -march=prescott -pipe -O2 * Configuring GLIBC for linuxthreads with: --disable-nls --disable-dev-erandom --enable-omitfp --with-tls --without-__thread --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads,c_stubs,libidn --enable-kernel=2.4.1 --without-selinux --without-cvs --enable-bind-now --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --disable-profile --without-gd --with-headers=//usr/include --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --libexecdir=/usr/lib/misc/glibc [...] checking for i386 TLS support... yes running configure fragment for sysdeps/pthread running configure fragment for libidn/sysdeps/unix running configure fragment for sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux checking for egrep... (cached) grep -E checking installed Linux kernel header files... 2.0.10 or later checking for kernel header at least 2.4.1... ok *** On GNU/Linux systems it is normal to compile GNU libc with the *** `nptl' add-on. Without that, the library will be *** incompatible with normal GNU/Linux systems. *** If you really mean to not use this add-on, run configure again *** using the extra parameter `--disable-sanity-checks'. !!! ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5.20050722 failed. !!! Function glibc_do_configure, Line 932, Exitcode 1 ===== the --enable-kernel=2.4.1 option and missing nptl in --enable-add-ons= seems to indicate that the nptl USE flag is being ignored. in fact, USE="-nptl -nptlonly" produces identical configure options as USE="nptl -nptlonly". the other glibc-2.3.5 ebuilds also have this problem but don't die during the configure. they just go ahead and build the linuxthreads version. now i've read on bug #92794 that building both versions is no longer supported and either linuxthreads or nptl is being forced. if this is the case then i'd suggest dropping the nptlonly flag and making nptl provide that option. having nptl build linuxthreads doesn't make much sense. ;)
