Package: src:glibc Version: 2.19-4 Severity: normal Hello!
After transitioning back from src:eglibc to src:glibc, building glibc from source fails on the Alpha port due to some tests from the testsuite failing, see the build log here [1]. I'm neither an expert regarding the C libary nor the Alpha architecture, but we happened to have these at work back then and I successfully installed Debian Lenny and earlier versions of Debian on Alpha without any issues, so the problem is apparently a regression in the glibc sources. >From the build log linked down below, it seems the following symbol mismatch is mainly responsible for the failing build: diff -p -U 0 ../ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/nptl/ld.abilist /«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/elf/ld.symlist /«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/elf/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc:/«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/math:/«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/elf:/«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/dlfcn:/«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/nss:/«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/nis:/«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/rt:/«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/resolv:/«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/crypt:/«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/nptl /«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/elf/tst-array2 > /«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/elf/tst-array2.out --- ../ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/nptl/libc.abilist 2014-02-07 09:04:38.000000000 +0000 +++ /«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-tree/alpha-libc/libc.symlist 2014-06-27 12:41:19.606854627 +0000 @@ -181,0 +182 @@ GLIBC_2.0 + __multi3 F ../Makerules:1285: recipe for target 'check-abi-libc' failed make[3]: *** [check-abi-libc] Error 1 Cheers, Adrian > [1] > http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=glibc&arch=alpha&ver=2.19-4&stamp=1403873117 -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
