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.

Thanks.
