Sorry if there's multiple copies of this email, I've tried from another address, and have difficulty confirming it got onto the list.
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. Thanks in anticipation, -- John August
