Hi guys,
I think we should upgrade PREFERRED_VERSION_glibc from 2.6 to 2.9 in
conf/distro/include/sane-toolchain.inc. The reasons are:
1. Most of distributions have upgraded their preferred glibc to 2.9 long
time ago.
conf/distro/angstrom-2008.1.conf:PREFERRED_VERSION_glibc ?= "2.9"
conf/distro/angstrom-2008.1.conf:PREFERRED_VERSION_glibc-initial ?= "2.9"
conf/distro/jlime-2009.1.conf:PREFERRED_VERSION_glibc-initial = "2.9"
conf/distro/jlime-2009.1.conf:PREFERRED_VERSION_glibc = "2.9"
conf/distro/kaeilos.conf:PREFERRED_VERSION_glibc ?= "2.9"
conf/distro/kaeilos.conf:PREFERRED_VERSION_glibc-initial ?= "2.9"
from the above, you can get to know that most distributions have upgraded
their preferred glibc to 2.9 from 2008 ago.
Of course, there are still some distributions which uses old glibc. The
only reason I guess is that we have not updated them for a long time. (for
from tinderbox, you can get to know that these distributions have not been
built for a long time)
2. from tinderbox, you can see that the glibc-2.9 is well-tested, no
glibc-2.6
http://tinderbox.openembedded.net/packages/?name=glibc&page=1
from the above link, you can get to know that the glibc-2.9 not
glibc-2.6.1 has had most testing.
3. the last reason is that I have built some projects with glibc-2.6,
unless with the old binutils, the glibc-2.6 always failed to build.
So, I think it is the time to upgrade PREFERRED_VERSION_glibc to 2.9 in
sane-toolchian.inc

Yes I am ok with this. Infact you could even use 2.10.1 now you are at it
and micro already did the change.

Although I haven't tried a build from scratch in a few weeks or so, I
have one known problem with glibc 2.9. I wonder if it's just me or not.
glibc 2.6.1 always works. On my armv4t board gpe-mini-browser2 always
seg faults. I've tried different gcc and binutils combinations. However,
glibc 2.9 on armv5te (imx) or armv7a (omap) work fine for me.

You could try to backport armv4t-interworking.patch from eglibc/files
that should help you will getting 2.9 up on armv4t. This patch is
applied to 2.10.1 may be moving to 2.10.1 would be better than 2.9
IMO

Ok thanks.
If my line wrapping was wrong in the previous post, then sorry about that.

Confirmed. gpe-mini-browser2 works with glibc 2.10.1
