[parisc-linux] glibc builds!

[Randolph Chung]

As it turns out there was a binutils bug that seems to be causing the
glibc build failures. it was also affecting mips. the binutils bug is
fixed in the upcoming (tomorrow) -3 release.

glibc is building on my box now. I will upload RSN.

Thanks to Ryan Murray <rmurray@debian.org> for the heads up!

For those of you interested in looking at glibc, there are some warnings
in atomicity.h (we don't have a hppa-specific one) and some of the
linuxthreads tests are failing. Patches will be much appreciated :)

This is excellent!

Where can I get the details on the binutils bug?
 
I've read the bug-binutils and binutils-cvs and I don't
see anything out of the ordinary (though it's easy to lose track).

actually it was a Debian-binutils specific bug. I'm not sure if it's
documented in any of the public lists. Ryan was working with the
maintainers directly.
