I encountered the same error when building uclibc-0.9.28 using 'xmerge'.

You're right, there should be some way to specify the kernel version for uclibc in the case that UTS_RELEASE isn't declared in include/linux/version.h

Has there been any new development?

I'm trying to use crossdev to generate a toolchain for an
arm-softfloat-linux-uclibc target. I'm using the following versions:

        binutils 2.17
        gcc 3.4.5
        kernel 2.6.18
        libc 0.9.28-r1

The command I'm using is:

USE="-*" UCLIBC_CPU=ARM_XSCALE crossdev --binutils 2.17 --gcc 3.4.5
--kernel 2.6.18 --libc 0.9.28-r1 --target arm-softfloat-linux-uclibc

The build fails on uclibc at the point it runs the fix_includes.sh
script, which fails saying "Unable to determine version for kernel
headers". I've looked at the version.h in the
/usr/arm-softfloat-linux-uclibc/usr/include/linux directory and it is
indeed missing the UTS_RELEASE define. If you edit version.h and add
"#define UST_RELEASE "2.6.18foo"", the build runs through to the end
(although I've not had chance to test the binaries it outputs yet).

Editing the version.h file by hand feels like a bit of a bodge. Is there
a fix for this? E.g. by adding a use flag I don't know about?



Cheers,

Tom
