Bug 86861 – Make glibc use $(get_libdir) for gconvdir on multilib arches

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2005-03-27 06:15:38 UTC]

ON multilib arches, glibc still points to /usr/lib/gconv for localization stuff
by default. This breaks many binary applications that expect libraries of their
ABI their. I'll attach a patch that solves this problem for me.

FIx gconvdir for multilib arches

Please include this patch or something equivalent to all versions of glibc that
support multilib. No revision bumps necessary, as it affects only users that
want
to user 32bit binaries. If they wanna use them, they just have to remerge
glibc.

Is the patch a fix for this problem? If so, can we please resolve.

[Comment 3 Herbie Hopkins (RETIRED) 2005-03-29 04:38:50 UTC]

glibc compiles and runs without error with this patch and fixes the problem here:
# strings /lib32/libc.so.6 | grep /gconv
/usr/lib32/gconv
/usr/lib32/gconv/gconv-modules.cache

10:52 <eradicator> ok, I won't be able to do much tomorrow or now... could you commit your patch to 20050125-r1?

Commited to CVS. FIXED.
