So you verified that after removing that file, and recompiling all worked well? Did you also run the testsuite? Did this just occur, or has it always been that way? I ask, because I see no changes to that since 2.2.0 release of glibc. If this is the only difference between powerpc and power3, then the only choice I have is to remove this file for powerpc as a generic solution (I cannot create two sets of libs for ppc and power3). -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
