So I found the thread in the archives. I already knew that the version of the kernel-headers doesn't neccesarily match the version of the kernel. glibc is supposed to be compiled against a known working kernel, as you said. Well, say you have that. What, besides the fact that you may upgrade your sources later making things out of sync, is wrong with building glibc against your own kernel headers? Wrong as it may be, I've even done that and update the kernel sources many times w/out rebuilding glibc and never had any problems... > no.

Well, I see what you're doing with the package. I don't see what would be wrong with the glibc SRPM building against what's in /usr/include, which is probably Mandrake's kernel-headers anyway. It seems wasteful the way it's done. Not neccesarily quite as wasteful as I thought before, Mandrake doesn't neccesarily have to rebuild glibc every time they upgrade the kernel, so I grant you that. Here's another idea then. Have a seperate SRPM for kernel-headers (which I guess would produce a noarch RPM). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
