Glibc isn't too nptl friendly on hppa right now so I havn't gotten to far into a build, But there doesn't seem to be any header obvious header issues. If I had to choose a headers package. It would be the clfs headers package over what is in the kernel for now.
There may be a balance there. Take the 2.6.18 headers and sanitize them with the clfs script. I'd prefer if we can use headers_install straight from the kernel, but we'll see what can be done about that. I tend to think that we should fix the broken packages rather than adding compatibility helpers into the kernel headers. Maybe it'll be too much pain, though. Incidentally, David Woodhouse checked in a series of patches to his repo due to all the failures in headers_check. We'll see what actually gets into Linus' tree. http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/kernel-headers.git;a=summary -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
