I want to compile brctl for a LRP environment (and obviously can't do it
since I'm here).

The environment is RedHat 5.2 on which I have successfully compiled kernels
from version 2.2.16 to 2.2.20. This time I decided to install Lennert's
patch. Everything works fine and I do get a nice bridge.o module which loads
perfectly when booting the new kernel with LRP.

Each program in bridge-utils-0.9.3 compiles perfectly except
libbridge_compat.c which needs bits/libc-lock.h

As I understand my findings on the Internet with similar problem for other
applications, this is related to the upgrade of glibc-2.0.x to glibc-2.1.

Unfortunately, the LRP is still using libc-2.0.7.so and consorts.

I have spent the better part of a day trying to understand how I could work
around this problem. One thing I am not too happy about is the fact that
NOBODY has a LRP brctl package. (Trust me, I event went so low as to look at
each LEAF developper personal directory on sourceforge.net and could not
find a brctl package). That is disturbing.

libbridge_compat.c exists (if I understand correctly) so that
if_indextoname() and if_nametoindex() can work as is.

Is there any way to compile brctl for LRP?

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Serge Caron
