[Steven Liu]

Hi, ALL:

I am porting Linux version 2.2.12 to Mips R3000 and need to build glibc
but I could not find the following files:

	glibc-2.0.6.tar.gz
            glibc-crypt-2.0.6.tar.gz
            glibc-localedata-2.0.6.tar.gz
 	glibc-linuxthreads-2.0.6.tar.gz
	glibc-2.0.6-mips.patch

If anyone know the place I caould get the files and let me know, I would
be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Why are you porting 2.2.12? 2.4 is much more easy to port and there's already 
pretty good support for a number of different boards. The tools and glibc 
(2.2.3) are ready and available from a few places. And, you are much more likely 
to get help from someone with the 2.4 kernel, since that's what everyone seems 
to be using. As soon as your 2.2.12 port is done, it will be dead. Who are you 
going to submit it to? Just my 2c anyway.

2.2.12 is historical value only. It has remote vulnerabilities and shouldnt
be used for anything.

glibc 2.0 is also obsolete, heavily so

We use 2.0.6 here because it is half the size of the newer glibcs and it seems

to work fine for us.

It trust someone patched the holes in it for things like DNS lookups ?

The latest glibc 2.0.6 I was spreading only has MIPS-specific bug fixes.
All the other big holes which are indeed big enough to drive a nice shipload
of trucks through are unfixed.  I haven't noticed that any other glibc
2.0 variant floating around has additional fixes.

Nice for Cobalt boxen ...

Debian is being ported to Cobalts.  A base tar ball can be found at

All the latest stuff there. I use it for my native build system. The
kernel is a 2.4.5 BTW if people are curious. I attempt a 2.4.6 kernel but
for some reason the cube doesn't like it. I believe I have a bug in the
old time code which is affected by the soft_pending change. I will attempt
to track it down some time next week.

Has anybody any luck running it on raq2 from Cobalt/SUN?

I am working on sglibc. It has a smaller size by disabling selective
features.

Go to http://www.mips.com/ and look for the developer tools.

Do NOT go there. Do NOT look for development tools.
Port 2.4.x
I wonder when MIPS will remove that 2.2.12 kit from their site.....

Re: glibc

[Siders, Keith]

http://www.mips.com/devTools/devArea/Linux.html states "The MIPS Linux
kernel is available based on both 2.2.12 and 2.4 releases, and is provided
as a reference for developers using Linux in a system based on a MIPS
Technologies core. It supports MIPS32 and MIPS64 CPUs..." Why are people
grabbing 2.2.12? Don't know, but 2.4 is available at
ftp://ftp.mips.com/pub/linux/mips/kernel/2.4/. Additional info is available
up a couple levels at ftp://ftp.mips.com/pub/linux/mips/. Enjoy...
