Hello all, I'm sorry but I don't have time to work on glibc & co development for now. In fact, I'm working hard on my phd-thesis (2 weeks before the viva voce).
I saw on the list that there is a bug in dynamic loader. I remember I tried to fix it some weeks ago in a private discussion with Davide. I built tar package on my SparcLinux development workstation & another ELC that is running part of RedHat (after I installed my Debian libc6* & gcc package on it). It worked for me, at least. Davide then tried my tar binary with no success :-(( I don't have any pointer to address this problem. I think glibc need to be rebuilt from scratch, but I don't have time to do it now. About headers problems, as the snapshot I built was restructuring the include files to use a include/bits subdirectory, it sure have introduced new bugs. I hope an upgrade to a newer snapshot will fix them. I will work again for Debian in two weeks. My system is a mix from RedHat, Debian, SunOS & other tools, so I think the better way to clean it up is to format & reinstall Debian from scratch. Then I hope I will be able to build a clean glibc package. If you cannot wait for 2 or 3 weeks, I can post Debian files & patches on this list, so someone will be able to build a new package. Note that it takes about 7 hours on a Sparc-5 70MHz 64 MB to build ;-(( And many more when compilation problems occur ;-) Regards Eric Delaunay. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires.
