I finally broke down (sigh) and started working with glibc 2.1
(sigh). Added about 120k to the root.lrp - and lots of questions for
me to ask :-) Note that I am STILL using Linux 2.2 - probably going
to upgrade to 2.2.19 soon.
I think the final break was when I asked if the new bridge utils can
be compiled under glibc 2.0. The answer was simple:
No.
(Gak!) Also, it would seem more and more utilities simply will NOT
compile under glibc 2.0 headers. I just tried pidentd (updated today)
and it didn't seem to. What is the best way to release *.lrp files
compiled against glibc 2.1? Perhasp just put something in the help?
or something more general in a HowTo?
Right now, the Oxygen image with glibc 2.1 is not quite usable as I
had to get rid of ifconfig; however, now I'm fumbling with 'ip' and
not getting very far.
I didn't get much out of "The Advanced Routing HowTo" - there were
simply too many points where it assumed you had knowledge.
I know I can do:
ifconfig eth0 172.16.3.44 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 172.16.255.255
up
I gather this takes TWO commands under 'ip' ...
Also, I can't seem to get the equivalent of this:
route add -net 127.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 dev lo
I'll keep trying.
Also, compiling glibc 2.1 from scratch, it would seem that my results
generate LARGER files in some cases but not others. In particular, I
compiled with --enable-omitfp ...should I have chosen something else?
Also, how do you strip functions out...?
Also, libnsl SEEMS by all accounts needed only by NIS/NIS+ - it's even
in the nis/ dir in glibc. What gives? Can we strip out all the NIS
functions?
Now, on all this - should I skip glibc 2.1 and go for glibc 2.2
instead?
