• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Karl-Johan Karlsson 2005-07-08 05:01:19 UTC]

sys-apps/busybox-1.00-r4 compiles fine on an Ultra10, but fails to link with the 
following error:

I've removed the hard mask from and installed glibc-2.3.5, since having 
userlocales make a huge difference in installation time and the comment in /usr/
portage/profiles/default-linux/sparc/sparc64/2005.0/package.mask indicates that 
the only problem is with blackdown-jdk, which I don't need. Kernel is sys-
kernel/sparc-sources-2.4.30, so it's not NPTL related like most other Busybox 
bugs I could find.

glibc has a hard mask on sparc for many reasons.
