Bug 78343 – glibc emerge fails

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description persson 2005-01-17 04:18:46 UTC]

I used to have a NPTL glibc on this sparc system, but now (after upgrading linux26-headers) I wanted to recompile glibc. It fails with the following error:

[Mon Jan 17 10:53:34 root@blackbox ~]# emerge -Dav glibc

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r2  -build -debug -erandom -hardened +nls +nptl (-pic) 0 kB

Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y

 * Could not find a gcc that supports the __thread directive!
 * please update to gcc-3.2.2-r1 or later, and try again.

!!! Function glibc_setup, Line 230, Exitcode 0
!!! No __thread support in gcc!
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

is this nptl-related? and if the answer is yes, is nptl working on sparc? should I revert to non-nptl and (possibly) linux 2.4 headers? Thank you.
