The Glibc test suite is the only toolchain test suite in HLFS that works. You should get perfect test results... I test it every time I do Glibc in chap6 and I only get posix/annexc.
The most common reason for getting failed Glibc tests in LFS or HLFS is due to the host system kernel. I want to make a list of needed modules and drivers, but I haven't narrowed them down yet. SysV, for example, is one driver which I found to be needed by the Glibc test suite. Maybe look at: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~robert/kernel/ In my experience the Slackware kernel always gives perfect Glibc test results. Something to keep in mind is that if none of your software needs the SysV driver then it's more secure to remove it from the kernel, in spite of Glibc testing to see whether it works. The second common reason for failed Glibc tests is from deviating from the book... adding toolchain modifications or cflags. I hope to resolve this issue, and others, once and for all by doing a reboot of the new system for chap6. robert On Wednesday June 18 2008 11:54:47 pm Chris Buxton wrote: > I'm using version SVN-20080603, and the initial build host is Ubuntu Server > 8.04.
