A new "sanity" check in the configure results in an failure to compile the linuxthreads version of glibc on gentoo systems. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge =sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5.20050722 Actual Results: *** On GNU/Linux systems it is normal to compile GNU libc with the *** `nptl' add-on. Without that, the library will be *** incompatible with normal GNU/Linux systems. *** If you really mean to not use this add-on, run configure again *** using the extra parameter `--disable-sanity-checks'. !!! ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5.20050722 failed. !!! Function glibc_do_configure, Line 914, Exitcode 1 !!! failed to configure glibc Expected Results: New glibc ;) My system is configured to emerge both the nptl and the linuxthread version, as default, so the ebuild will try to build both versions of the glibc. This will be executes as two separate steps and as there is now an additional check to not build the linuxthread version alone this check will fail. Best course of action is probably just to add the --disable-sanity-checks parameter for the linuxthread build. If the other sanity checks are wanted, then the new configure version needs to be patched to remove this check.
It's the same here for me. Typing 'USE="nptl" emerge glibc" does not work either. Adding the "--disable-sanity-checks" (as Torsten suggested) in the ebuild gives me a working glibc-2.3.5.20050722 Will there be a fix for this "little" problem?
I looked into the glibc configure to determine what checks will be disabled if the above switch was given. It will only disable the check for ntpl which disturbs the build on gentoo and a check to prevent the user from accidently installing glibc into /usr/local. As the prefix will be generated by the ebuild (fixed as /usr or when crosscompiling /usr/${CTARGET}) this check is not really needed. The following patch will supplie the flag for the linuxthread compile: --- glibc-2.3.5.20050722.ebuild~ 2005-08-17 21:11:00.341442352 +0200 +++ glibc-2.3.5.20050722.ebuild 2005-08-17 21:11:00.369438096 +0200 @@ -876,7 +876,7 @@ myconf="${myconf} --without-tls --without-__thread" fi - myconf="${myconf} --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads${ADDONS}" + myconf="${myconf} --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads${ADDONS} --disable-sanity-checks" myconf="${myconf} --enable-kernel=${LT_KERNEL_VERSION}" elif [ "$1" == "nptl" ] ; then myconf="${myconf} --with-tls --with-__thread"
After adding the patch from comment #2 the compile started, but later aborted with an error. I needed to add the following patched to get glibc to compile:: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/linuxthreads/sysdeps/i386/Attic/tls.h.diff?r1=1.37&r2=1.38&cvsroot=glibc&hideattic=0 http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/linuxthreads/Attic/pthread.c.diff?r1=1.135&r2=1.136&cvsroot=glibc&hideattic=0 http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/linuxthreads_db/Attic/td_thr_tlsbase.c.diff?r1=1.3&r2=1.4&cvsroot=glibc&hideattic=0 There seems to be something wrong with this ebuild. All of this commits are from Jan 9 2005, so this changes should normally be included in a snapshot of Jul 22 2005. On the other hand: All affected files have been removed from the glibc-CVS on Jul 2 2005, so it should not really matter that they are stale. Should the file glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.5.tar.bz2 that is used in the ebuild be updated? Anyway: With the patches from the glibc-CVS I was able to comple successfully and the system is up and running.
