[parisc-linux] glibc update

[parisc-linux] glibc update

[Randolph Chung]

glibc 2.2.4-3 has been uploaded to Debian's incoming direction and
should be installed in today's archive run.

it was lightly tested by lamont and myself before upload... please do
report any problems you find.

note that after i sent out my email yesterday about glibc, we ran into
some other obstacles... 

1. the glibc i uploaded is actually built with a fairly old binutils
(version 2.11.90.0.7-2.0.1). 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

I did an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and recived all the new packages on
my C360.   I then compiled todays kernel on my machine.

bofh:~# dpkg --list | grep -i libc6
ii  libc6          2.2.4-3        GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
ii  libc6-dev      2.2.4-3        GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea
bofh:~# uname -a
Linux bofh 2.4.9-pa57 #1 Thu Oct 18 10:12:28 UTC 2001 parisc unknown

All went well and my box seems to be functioning perfectly. :-)

That's right, some of the tests have always failed.  However, this was
better than the previous state where all tests failed, so I uploaded...

I have a list of tests which fail that I posted to parisc-linux some
time ago.  As far as I know, nobody fixed them.

Where can I find the sources to uptodate glibc/gcc/binutils for parisc ?
The files on the ftp site are old as far as I can tell.
