Bug 149297 – sys-libs/uclibc-0.9.28 doesn't compile for PPC

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Glaser 2006-09-27 06:45:44 UTC]

In uclibc posix_types.h and kernel_types.h doesn't match as described in kernel_types.h comments.

The applied patch solves this bug in uclibc. This can simply be applied in the xxx-patch.tar.bz2, which is used in the ebuild.

It changes simply the #ifdef and #defines for PPC in libc/sysdeps/linux/powerpc/bits/kernel_types.h to match the ones in posix_types.h

Did you send it upstream too?

No, but I think Jocke already did, as vapier told on embedded-gentoo list.

the embedded team takes care of uclibc, not the arch teams

OK, found out, where the bugs raises. It ist because of a change in define names in kernel about 2.6.15. So the patch only applies for 2.6.15 kernels and later. Don't know how to handle this, but I think someone here knows.

I would be interested in, how this can be handled, so please file the patch here if it is finished.
