From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <39D00C41.82E2B00D@fuse.net> Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 22:38:58 -0400 From: Jack Howarth MIME-Version: 1.0 To: geoffk@cygnus.com, Franz.Sirl-kernel@lauterbach.com, drepper@cygnus.com, libc-alpha@sources.redhat.com, linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org Subject: Re: [RFC] IPC64 with glibc-2.2 and linux-2.4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: Geoff, I believe I have covered all of the combination of tests you asked about concerning Franz's glibc 2.1.94 and Linux 2.4-test9 patches for the IPC64 issue. Again this problem arose when we recompiled XFree86 4.0.1 against glibc 2.1.9x. Thus I have done the following tests... 1) XFree86 built against patched glibc 2.1.94 with patched Linux 2.4-test9 - gnome is working now 2) XFree86 built against glibc 2.1.3 with patched Linux 2.4-test9 - gnome is working....always did before 3) XFree86 built against patched glibc 2.1.94 with Linux 2.2.17pre20 - gnome is working now 4) XFree86 built against glibc 2.1.3 with Linux 2.2.17pre20 - gnome is working I believe we are safe with Franz's proposed patch and the only question is do we increase the seq field to 32 bits from 16 bits. Jack ps Of course without Franz's patches to glibc 2.1.94 and Linux 2.4-test9, tests 1 and 3 would have failed when I tried to run gnome. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
