Bug 118729 – glibc-2.3.6-r2 and 2.3.5-r3 fail to build with assembler errors

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Jose daLuz 2006-01-11 19:17:56 UTC]

I tried updating glibc-2.3.5-r3 to 2.3.6-r2 and ran into the following error:

I tried this with binutils-2.16.91.0.5 and 2.16.1-r1 with the same results.  I then tried rebuilding glibc-2.3.5-r3 and ran into the same error, yet I had no problems building it a couple of weeks ago.

Long shot, check if linux-headers was updated recently.  There seems to be 2 revisions since the version you have.  Only thing I can think of pulling strange asm warnings like that.

[Comment 2 Jose daLuz 2006-01-11 19:40:25 UTC]

The only stable update was for sparc/alpha systems, 2.6.11-r4.  I see that 2.6.15_rc6 is hardmasked but available and the changelog for 30 Dec says "Fix glibc compile; start running headers___fix on all the headers by default." so perhaps this is a known 2.6.15/AMD64 issue.

I'll give it a try (and hope it doesn't blow anything else up ;-). Thanks for the tip.

[Comment 3 Jose daLuz 2006-01-11 20:15:56 UTC]

No, it wasn't the headers. I get the same error with the 2.6.15_rc6 headers.

So I downgraded the headers back to 2.6.11-r3 and rebooted with a 2.6.14 kernel to try to get closer to where I was when this last worked...and I get the same error.
