I can't comment on that platform with glibc-2.5, but there don't seem to be many people around so I'll throw in my £0.02. I'm finishing off a desktop build on LFS svn (i686) using glibc-2.5 (against 2.6.18.x kernel headers), and on that the glibc nptl tests failed badly although the resulting desktop system seems to be ok. I guess that a change (kernel, headers, or toolchain) has proved the nptl tests are fragile. I'm also guessing that glibc-2.5 has not had a vast amount of testing yet. So, unless somebody else is building on the same platform and can say that they don't see this failure, I think you are *probably* ok to continue, As always, what really matters is how well the resulting system works. Testsuites can be useful: sometimes they highlight problems, sometimes they indicate a problem but the cause is elsewhere, sometimes they break. Sometimes, there are other errors which the testsuite doesn't notice. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce _______________________________________________ Clfs-support mailing list Clfs-support@lists.cross-lfs.org http://lists.cross-lfs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfs-support
