Hi all,
I wanted to give glibc with nptl a try but emerge gave me this:
USE="nptl" emerge -pv glibc
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r9 [2.3.2-r3] +nls -pic -build
So can anyone tell me where the nptl USE flag for glibc is, I think it
should be there ???
Because of this I got a little bit curious and checked the ebuild, if
support for nptl was removed from the ebuild or not. I found out that
the use_nptl function is still in the ebuild and it gets called during
the merge by the pkg_setup function. Problem is that the use_nptl
function is useless in the build because the beginning of the function
looks like this:
use_nptl() {
return 1
so function gets called but returns directly without doing or checking
anything with returncode 1. When I comment out that line the ebuild
seems to work. So could anyone on this list tell me whats all this about
and why nptl support was more or less removed from the ebuild. Maybe its
because of the pending bugs with glibc and nptl ???
brgds, Marc
