error: #error "TLS support is required." while building glibc-initial-2.4 on x86_64

[Christopher Lang]

I tried to start a fully renewed oe build system today with bitbake 1.6 and up 
to date oe checkout. I am using minimal distro/machine files. 
While building bootstrap-image/glibc-initial-2.4 on an x86_64 (AMD X2) machine 
for TARGET_ARCH = "i586" I get the following error:

I think it is related to the configure script which cannot test TLS support on 
the x86_64 host properly:

| checking for i386 TLS support... no


The full error output is on

any hint on how to resolve that problem is appreciated.

many thanks

Chris

You need to use make 3.81 to build glibc 2.4 for x86 targets on x86_64.

I've added make 3.81 to OE (by copying all the 3.80 releated make
files to 3.81 versions - no changes necessary) and then do a "bitbake
make-native" prior to building rather than update the host version of
make.

Are there any nasty side-effects of update to 3.81? If not, could you commit it?

Not that I've seen. I've been doing builds for i486 (WRAP boards) and
i586 (EPIA) with make 3.81 without any problems, although I don't
build any UI stuff. I believe some newer distros are also shipping
make 3.81 as the default.

In this case make-native isn't actually built unless you explicitly
ask for it and make would be used on the target not by OE.

So I don't see any issues with pushing this version. I'll do that
now.
