The first match which google gave me (stackoverflow.com from 2011) suggests this can also happen when glibc is built with binutils less than 2.17. That is also very unlikely. In general, the first matches were related to yum (and I think zypper is related to that). There was a suggestion (for Arm) that POSIX threads were not enabled in Arm glibc before the glibc-2.3.4 series. All very old, but I wonder if the fault might be in your builds of zypper or rpm. Google also suggested related searches including openoffice.org. From 2008, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=472093 where the problem seemed to be in rpm (or, perhaps, the specfile). > > Questions: > 1) Could someone give us some enlightenment about > what is rtld (GNU_HASH) exactly?

Yes, if you exclude the fonts (which I do in my own builds since I consider I have adequate coverage, and installing fonts which are only usable by LO is annoying) there are still many of them. The total set is in 'download.lst'. In BLFS our policy for these seems to be : if it is a released version, use a system version if we have it in the book, but do not add extra deps to the book unless they fix a build problem (or are more-generally usable. Some of these packages _might_ be releases, e.g. your flow-engine example might just be a hash for a particular git tag, or it might have been locally modified, or never released. Anyway, since you are using zypper I assume you are familiar with OpenSuSe srpms. I think they, like fedora, do not let libreoffice download packages and instead make each one into a separate dependency. The links to OpenSuse and Fedora in 'Going Beyond BLFS' at the start of the book should work (unfortunately srpm only for both of them, not git trees). > However, I have the very strong feeling the problem > is caused by the "zillion" of external/outdated > components downloaded by the build process. > 2) Could the problem be within the glibc library I/We > have build (a glibc building sequence weakness?)
