I've always been instructed to rebuild glibc after changing the headers. Of course, nobody that has told me this has ever really given me a good reason to either. So I am too wondering if it's really a necessity On Mon, 2005-02-07 at 19:21 -0500, Captain FantastiK wrote:Hi

As far as I know, the only reason to change your headers at all is in order to enable nptl, which can only be used with the 2.6 headers (the 2.4 headers work fine with any kernel under all other circumstances).
If you intend to enable nptl, you have to recompile glibc with one or both of the nptl USE flags in order to do so.
So yes, you do have to recompile glibc under those circumstances, and those circumstances are pretty much the only reason for going through all this anyway, so... yes.
