I'm in need of the configuration for the libc6_2.3.2-7_i386.deb file. I'm trying to compile it myself, but am up against problems on a processor which does not have floating point capacity. The pre-compiled version above works OK, but the one I compile myself either triggers illegal instructions (signal 4?), or does not compile at all when I try to disable fp (not that I really know what I'm doing), citing :
/work/glibc-2.3.2/glibc-build/libc_pic.os(.text+0x1368b): In function
`__ldexpl':
../sysdeps/generic/s_ldexpl.c:32: undefined reference to `__finitel'
/work/glibc-2.3.2/glibc-build/libc_pic.os(.text+0x136c9):../sysdeps/generic/s_ldexpl.c:34:
undefined reference to `__finitel'
as the error.
I'm using such a recent version because the 'stable' release generates compile errors related to the assembler code.
The CPU is noted as a SiS, and the kernel does not indicate detecting or floating point unit or initiation of the emulator. Yes, perhaps if I resolved kernel issues the library would work anyway, but the issue is that if I could compile it 'like' the released .deb file, it would work (the version I compile works OK on a 'standard' CPU).
I've tried looking around the debian website, but can't find the sort of log / configuration setting file I'm looking for. I'm willing to go to version -8 if need be, so long as there's a config file to go with it and it works on the CPU.
Hopefully this is the correct forum, I'm happy to direct future emails appropriately once I know.
Thanks in anticipation,
John August.
