Package: libc6-i686 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10 Severity: important The libc6-i686 doesn't work with kernel 2.4 with applied nptl patch.
$ /lib/tls/ld-linux.so.2 FATAL: kernel too old $ uname -a Linux ginger 2.4.22pre1-redhat-4.0.1.el-pentiumiii #1 Tue Nov 25 15:51:05 CET 2003 i686 GNU/Linux See http://kernellabo.alioth.debian.org/kernellabo/packages/redhat/ for kernel package built from RedHat sources. The linker's message is caused by bad test on kernel version number. The RedHat provides additional patch. This code checks if it is implemented __NR_set_tid_address syscall. Additional test is checking of "ntpl" string in kernel version (which would not correct for other kernel flavours). I've extracted this patch and prepared simple test. If you run attached glibc-nptl-check on kernel with NTPL, you should get '2'. On kernel without NTPL you should get '1'. It might be a first step to modifing Debian's libc6 linker. -- Piotr Roszatycki, Netia S.A. .''`. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `' `-
