I have SMP EV67, gcc-3.4.6-r1, kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r1, CFLAGS="-mcpu=ev67 -O2 -pipe -fPIC" and nptl flag. Compiling linuxthreads part of glibc stops at: if test -r /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.6-r4/image//usr/include/gnu/stubs.h && cmp -s /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.6-r4/work/build-default-alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-l inuxthreads/stubs.h /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.6-r4/image//usr/include/gnu/stubs .h; \ then echo 'stubs.h unchanged'; \ else /bin/install -c -m 644 /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.6-r4/work/build-d efault-alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-linuxthreads/stubs.h /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.6 -r4/image//usr/include/gnu/stubs.h; fi rm -f /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.6-r4/work/build-default-alpha-unknown-linux-gnu -linuxthreads/stubs.h /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.6-r4/work/build-default-alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-linux threads/elf/sln /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.6-r4/work/build-default-alpha-unknown -linux-gnu-linuxthreads/elf/symlink.list Invalid link from "ld-" to "3": No such file or directory Invalid link from "li" to "c-": No such file or directory Invalid link from "li" to "okenLocale-": No such file or directory Invalid link from "li" to "m-": No such file or directory Invalid link from "li" to "dl-": No such file or directory Invalid link from "li" to "c": No such file or directory Invalid link from "li" to "t": No such file or directory Invalid link from "li" to "cidn-": No such file or directory Invalid link from "li" to "esolv-": No such file or directory Invalid link from "li" to "nss_dns-": No such file or directory ... nptl part is compiled first and seems to be (pre)installed OK. Do you think it is worth to try with nptlonly flag? Basic services seem to work more or less with nptl... Did somebody tried to install glibc-2.4*?
I have tested and finally installed glibc-2.4-r2 on the system from previous post. It seems to work quite OK. Services like openafs server, mysql, apache openldap-2.3, heimdal kdc work without any problems. With glibc-2.3.6-r3 I had a serious problem with slapd/GSSAPI. Any ldapsearch with gssapi enable, crashed slapd (bug in gethostbyaddr). Even nscd does not crash on first query anymore. So, could you add ~alpha keyword to glibc-2.4-r2 ebuild?
> CFLAGS="-mcpu=ev67 -O2 -pipe -fPIC" You should never put -fPIC in your CFLAGS. See http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/pic-internals.xml for details. > nptl flag We've found that glibc doesn't work correctly when built with USE="nptl -nptlonly". You'll need USE="-nptl -nptlonly" or USE="nptl nptlonly". See Bug #119154 for more details. > I have SMP EV67, gcc-3.4.6-r1, kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r1, > CFLAGS="-mcpu=ev67 -O2 -pipe -fPIC" and nptl flag. There is a way to get emerge to display all of your settings (USE flags, CFLAGS, etc) and versions of important packages (glibc, gcc, etc). Just run `emerge --info` and you'll have a nice system summary to post to bugs. It will save you a lot of time typing things in yourself and makes it easier for others to help you.
