#1990: Coreutils uname patch -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: minor | Resolution: Keywords: | -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I didn't know non-x86 had a patch for this. I blended the two patches together, and attached it. I'm not certain the x86_64 bit works, but the rest should. I tested it on my prescott and quantum's pentium4. Both patches are insane, but there's no other standard way to detect the cpuid, so xorg and ffmpeg use assembly build-time tests, similar to this uname patch. In my opinion, at the moment, I think the ideal fix for this is a kernel sysctl to identify the cpu and sub-arch. I can't think of any reason a non-hlfs user would build uname.c with -fpie; but now that these patches are together lfs/clfs/hlfs can use the same patch... why not? -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/1990#comment:2> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
