There could well be many binutils bug fixes since then, but at least for this case it lets us build glibc without the segfaults we see with the newer binutils 2. the newest binutils (2.11.92.0.5-3), also in incoming, doesn't appear to address the glibc build issue as i originally thought. we still get ld.so segfaults as Carlos has observed earlier. Perhaps someone (Carlos, Alan, Rob?) can look at the binutils changes since then can see what broke? 3. with the glibc build (using old binutils) some of the linuxthreads tests are failing. in particular there's one case where it seems to get into a deadlock. i left it running overnight and it's still stuck ... i don't know if this has always been broken though. Build logs for #3 and #2 above can be found at: #3: http://people.debian.org/~tausq/glibc.build.log2 #2: http://people.debian.org/~tausq/glibc.build.log5 randolph -- @..@ http://www.TauSq.org/ (----) ( >__< ) ^^ ~~ ^^
