I think another warning is appropriate for users (who don't have access to the no-nptl profile like amd64) to recieve a warning that glibc-2.4 will break compatability with a lot of binary-only commercial software. Something small and simple like the attached patch.
Created attachment 95781 [details, diff] Patch to warn users that nptlonly will break Matlab et al.
nptl and linuxthreads should be binary compatible
Okay, I can confirm that Matlab 7.0.4.352 (R14) works with the new glibc. I've set up a chroot and I'm installing my binary packages there for testing....
Hello again SpanKY, it looks like the issue we faced in: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138028 Basically "a program that I use for work fails to run with the new glibc-2.4 (I suspect this is the case for a lot of other people who rely on old binary programs for work.)" Here's some info that (I think) helped trace the problem last time. This is from a chrooted 32bit environment. It looks like it might work if you apply the same magic that you did last time :D Wave your magic wand!!!! user% file insightII insightII: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped user% ./insightII ./insightII: relocation error: /usr/accelrys/I2005/Linux_2_Intel_32/biosymso/libcblib.so: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference user% ldd insightII linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) ............................................... ................. libXm.so.2 => /usr/lib/lesstif-2.1/libXm.so.2 (0xf1b6e000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXt.so.6 (0xf1b2e000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXi.so.6 (0xf1b27000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xf1b1c000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xf1a51000) libGL.so.1 => //usr//lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1 (0xf1a01000) libGLU.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 (0xf1997000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xf196f000) libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 (0xf191b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf17dd000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf17c8000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf17c4000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/accelrys/I2005/Linux_2_Intel_32/biosymso/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf17b9000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libSM.so.6 (0xf17b0000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libICE.so.6 (0xf179d000) libXp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXp.so.6 (0xf1796000) libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0xf1793000) libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xf178e000) libXxf86vm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1 (0xf1789000) libdrm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdrm.so.2 (0xf1783000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf16a2000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7fba000) user% strings /usr/accelrys/I2005/Linux_2_Intel_32/biosymso/libcblib.so | grep GLIBC GLIBC_2.1 GLIBC_2.0 GLIBC_2.1.3 GLIBC_2.2.3 user% strings /lib/libc.so.6 | grep GLIBC GLIBC_2.0 GLIBC_2.1 GLIBC_2.1.1 GLIBC_2.1.2 GLIBC_2.1.3 GLIBC_2.2 GLIBC_2.2.1 GLIBC_2.2.2 GLIBC_2.2.3 GLIBC_2.2.4 GLIBC_2.2.6 GLIBC_2.3 GLIBC_2.3.2 GLIBC_2.3.3 GLIBC_2.3.4 GLIBC_2.4 GLIBC_PRIVATE objdump -x /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6: file format elf32-i386 /lib/libc.so.6 architecture: i386, flags 0x00000150: HAS_SYMS, DYNAMIC, D_PAGED start address 0x00015a10 ... ...
