RE: mips linux glibc-2.3.3 build - Unknown ABI problem

[David Daney]

Sorry for the horked up mail message format, but these web based e-mail clients make it difficult...
 
sysdeps/mips/machine-gmon.h version 1.8 has the #include <sgidefs.h> which will solve the problem when using gcc 3.4.x.
 
 
Others have reported that recent versions of glibc from the glibc CVS server will compile without patching.  Perhaps you should try it.  That is what I am going to do right now.

The CVS version fails right at the configure stage itself.  It comes out

Some experimentation with "gcc -E" revealed that in the compiler I am using
(by default),

_MIPS_SIM is set to 1
_ABI032 is set to 1
_ABIN32 is not defined
_ABI64 is not defined

I tried compiling a "hello world" program with "gcc -mabi=32" and it works.

If I try "gcc -mabi=n32" it breaks at the linking stage as below:

get the most recent machine-gmon.h from glibc CVS.

You will probably find a problem linking libc at a later step.  But the
newer machine-gmon.h will fix this problem.

I have sucessfully build with gcc-3.3.1, still working on 3.4.2

OK. That worked.  Thanks a lot.

(But now there are some assembler errors in rtld.c.  It seems like an 
unrelated
problem - so I will post that seperately.)

Ah! Nice to know that. 
Do you by any chance have the diffs (against 
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/glibc/glibc-2.3.3...). 
If so, can you send it to me?

Oops!  I will take that back. I suspect it is not working.

When you said CVS I assumed the one in http://linux-mips/cvsweb/libc.  
On closer
look it looks very old.  From discussions in another thread I gather CVS 
means http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/?cvsroot=glibc. 
(Correct me
if this is wrong.) If I take the machine-gmon.h from here - It still has 
the
same problem :-(

Correction Again:  It works.  I got the machine-gmon.h and builds all 
mixed up.  I did
a fresh compile and it went past this point.

[Sorry for all the confusion.  I will post more carefully in future.]
