Hi all, I'm having trouble with compiling libxml2-2.6.20 using the LFS-GCC4 branch. I'm not sure that it is a GCC4 issue however, I think it perhaps could be an issue with Glibc-2.3.5, which is also used in current LFS-SVN.
If anyone could offer their experience trying to compile LibXML2 using a system built on top of Glibc-2.3.5, I would appreciate it. It appears there are a couple of new programs built for non-Linux systems to run the regression tests. Linux systems do not need these programs. Anyway, there is an include of glob.h that crashes that build on my platform. I can modify the /usr/include/glob.h and have the package build okay, but that is certainly not an avenue we can pursue. I have built a patch that excludes building these non-needed programs if we need to put this in the current BLFS SVN book. Understand, this issue will not manifest itself if you are using Glibc prior to 2.3.5 or a recent snapshot. As best as I can tell only the 2.3.5 version of Glibc has put in defines for rk_glob and rk_globfree that seem to be causing the trouble.
