With latest patches from Alan Modra, things seem to be looking better. Here's what I've tried: In a chroot built with debootstrap plus build-essential: - Rebuild binutils from sourceware cvs - Using new binutils, rebuild glibc (2.2.4-5) with am's latest patch With these bits installed, the following were tested: - build and install wget (just a simple sanity test) - install and run libgtk1.2 and gkrellm - recompile and run python1.5 and apache all these seem to be ok now. Before recompiling, things like python will die with a SIGILL I've made a list of all the packages that got uploaded between around Oct 15 till now. All these need to be recompiled and binary-NMU's need to be made. James/LaMont/Bdale/myself/etc can do these fairly easily with sbuild after new binutils and glibc bits are uploaded. Hopefully we can also restart the buildd after that. Chris/Ben: can you let us know when we can expect new binutils/glibc? I'll forward the glibc patch to Ben separately. If you can think of anything else that we should try to make sure everything works, please let us know. fingers crossed, randolph -- @..@ http://www.TauSq.org/ (----) ( >__< ) ^^ ~~ ^^
