Package: glibc
Version: 2.3.7-2; reported 2003-09-15
Followup-For: Bug #207391
I've gotten this newline issue in version-info.h both while building from
non-modified sources for i386 and my own modified sources for i686.
I'm not sure if it's a bug in make in the way it passes the argument, a bug in
echo in coreutils or a shell bug.
The \\n\" sequence used in this section of the Makefile causes the newline
character to be interpreted, instead of the double backslash being interpreted
as a one. The below patch works around the problem. I'm using the latest
versions of all the build-dependencies from unstable.
Below is a patch that works around the buggy \\n\" handling. Should be a
harmless fix even on systems that don't have the bug.
