As I mentioned the other day I did go ahead and build the temp system again. This time I used linux-2.6.29.3 along with the corresponding grsec patch. I have had no issues I can trace back to the kernel includes. So at least early on that looks good.
I was experiencing problems with the re-adjusted linker before I rebuilt the temporary system, but didn't look at it much because I was trying to document the reboot procedure. These same issues did crop back up on my latest rebuild. Taking a look at the ld-new that we copy into /tools/bin during binutils-pass2 I found it was considerably smaller than expected. Reading the file with a text editor shed some light on my problems. # ld-new - temporary wrapper script for .libs/ld-new # Generated by ltmain.sh (GNU libtool 1.2435 2007/03/18 18:44:42) 2.1a # # The ld-new program cannot be directly executed until all the libtool # libraries that it depends on are installed. # # This wrapper script should never be moved out of the build directory. # If it is, it will not operate correctly. Going back to my binutils obj/ directory and executing the below commad installed a working re-adjusted linker. make -C ld install I haven't explored a solution that doesn't require keeping the build directory from the previous chapter just yet. Instead I have been reviewing the test suite failures that I am experiencing later in the build. Running the following for the binutils test suite results in a small handfull of errors. make CFLAGS="-fPIC -fno-stack-protector -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -nonow -nopie" -k check binutils tests FAIL: run objcopy of executable FAIL: run stripped executable FAIL: run stripped executable with saving a symbol FAIL: objdump -W FAIL: readelf -wa (compressed) ld tests FAIL: ld-elf/seg FAIL: vers4 FAIL: Check --gc-section/-r/-u FAIL: ld-i386/hidden2 FAIL: NOCROSSREFS 3 FAIL: S-records FAIL: S-records with constructors The good news is with similar CFLAGS, and LDFLAGS="-Wl,-no-fatal-warning" all the glibc tests pass.
