Bug 90316 – dietlib works on amd64 with a small patch

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joseph Cohen 2005-04-24 19:00:07 UTC]

emerge util-vserver-0.30+ on x86_64 will fail because of x86 specific issues. Also tried patching cache.h file since x86_64 doesn't provide a L1 cache setting for the kerenl, so setting it "6" can improve some compiling. Resulting issues can include these messages:
An example Message is:

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ahh, ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" emerge util-vserver
2. Or, ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge util-vserver
Actual Results:  
failed to compile

Expected Results:  
emerged util-vserver

This can be resolved by upgrading dietlibc to 0.28+ and on some machines you
will need to apply the attached patch which was found at:

http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/X86_64/dietlibc-0.28-syscall.patch

[Comment 1 Joseph Cohen 2005-04-24 19:01:34 UTC]

Created attachment 57136 [details, diff]
Patch for some systems on dietlibc

apply against dietlibc-0.28 source, this can help emerging util-vserver on
systems that tried to just emerge the latest dietlibc and failed to emerge
util-vserver.

sorry, that patch doesn't seem to work, i applied it and got exactly the same error

[Comment 3 Jim Laflin 2005-08-10 15:11:04 UTC]

This now builds without a patch... OK to close?

ok, this now compiles files, so i'll close this.
