Chapter 5.6: Glibc-2.3.4 symbol definition loop errors
On a Fedora Core 5 host system I'm at chapter 5.6 of the stable LFS, building glibc-2.3.4. I installed the patch as per the manual and the configure step goes fine with no errors but the make step throws up these errors: gcc -B/tools/bin/ ../sysdeps/wordsize-32/divdi3.c -c -std=gnu99 -O2 -Wall -Winline -Wstrict-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -g -mpreferred-stack-boundary=4 -fPIC-I../include -I. -I/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-build/csu -I.. -I../libio -I../nptl -I/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-build -I../sysdeps/i386/elf -I../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/i686 -I../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386 -I../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux -I../nptl/sysdeps/pthread -I../sysdeps/pthread -I../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv -I../nptl/sysdeps/unix -I../nptl/sysdeps/i386/i686 -I../nptl/sysdeps/i386 -I../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386 -I../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux -I../sysdeps/gnu -I../sysdeps/unix/common -I../sysdeps/unix/mman -I../sysdeps/unix/inet -I../sysdeps/unix/sysv/i386 -I../sysdeps/unix/sysv -I../sysdeps/unix/i386 -I../sysdeps/unix -I../sysdeps/posix -I../sysdeps/i386/i686/fpu -I../sysdeps/i386/i686 -I../sysdeps/i386/i486 -I../nptl/sysdeps/i386/i486 -I../sysdeps/i386/fpu -I../sysdeps/i386 -I../sysdeps/wordsize-32 -I ./sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96 -I../sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64 -I../sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32 -I../sysdeps/ieee754 -I../sysdeps/generic/elf -I../sysdeps/generic -nostdinc -isystem /mnt/lfs/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/include -isystem /tools/include -D_LIBC_REENTRANT -D_LIBC_REENTRANT -include ../include/libc-symbols.h -DPIC -DSHARED -DHAVE_INITFINI -o /mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-build/csu/divdi3.os -MD -MP -MF /mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-build/csu/divdi3.os.dt -MT /mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-build/csu/divdi3.os /tmp/cc7sQmkl.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/cc7sQmkl.s:1632: Error: symbol definition loop encountered at `__divdi3_internal' /tmp/cc7sQmkl.s:1632: Error: symbol definition loop encountered at `__udivdi3_internal' /tmp/cc7sQmkl.s:1632: Error: symbol definition loop encountered at `__moddi3_internal' /tmp/cc7sQmkl.s:1632: Error: symbol definition loop encountered at `__umoddi3_internal' make[2]: *** [/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-build/csu/divdi3.os] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-2.3.4/csu' make[1]: *** [csu/subdir_lib] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-2.3.4' make: *** [all] Error 2 I've looked around for solutions to this problem but haven't found anything in the errata, the FAQ or from googling and searching the LFS site.

I'm assuming this is not an athlon64 with a multilib host system. One possibility is that FC-5 is far too new to build LFS-6.1.1 (e.g. you probably have some sort of gcc-4.1, and maybe glibc-2.4, and you are asking it to build something too many versions older). At this point, you should be using the LFS binutils for doing assembly, so I'm guessing that was built wrongly. We are close to a new release, but I can't wholeheartedly recommend the current svn book at the moment (a problem with some man pages has been reported), and we don't know exactly what went wrong in your build. It might be a problem with fedora's binutils, it might be yet another gcc bug if it is indeed using gcc-4.1, or anything, so we can't assume that the development LFS (gcc-4.0 etc) will be any better for you. If your FC-5 system is not up to date, perhaps any updates to binutils, gcc, glibc might help. Otherwise, I recommend you to use a different host system, such as the LFS Live CD.

Should be a more stable base to start from I guess :) Thanks again -- Andrew Price -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
