I put the 6.8 repopulation in root's bash_profile in the chroot environment, replaced the glibc source, and tried once more. It wasn't successful. I ran a log of the make check, and grepped it for "Error" to get this:
make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/glibc-build/libio/tst-fopenloc.check] Error 127 make[1]: *** [libio/tests] Error 2 make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/glibc-build/posix/bug-regex24.out] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/glibc-build/posix/tst-regex2.out] Error 1 make[2]: [/usr/local/src/glibc-build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored) make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/glibc-build/posix/bug-regex2-mem] Error 127 make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/glibc-build/posix/bug-regex14-mem] Error 127 make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/glibc-build/posix/bug-regex21-mem] Error 127 make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/glibc-build/posix/tst-rxspencer-mem] Error 127 make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/glibc-build/posix/tst-pcre-mem] Error 127 make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/glibc-build/posix/tst-boost-mem] Error 127 make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/glibc-build/posix/bug-glob2-mem] Error 127 make[1]: *** [posix/tests] Error 2 make[2]: *** [/usr/local/src/glibc-build/nptl/tst-stack3-mem] Error 127 make[1]: *** [nptl/tests] Error 2 make: *** [check] Error 2 I suppose this means I need to start all over, Ch5 isn't correct? Blow it all away and rebuild Ch5 and run all the tests? Just Ch5's glibc Pass 2? GCC? How do I figure out what's usable, what isn't, and how to get back on track? I also read 7.4 and the referenced FAQ. It says: "Q: How will udev handle the /dev filesystem? A: /dev is recomended to be a tmpfs filesystem that is recreated on every reboot. Although, udev does not care what kind of filesystem it runs on." So my question is: Is there a reason I shouldn't build /dev in the root partition during the build process, then later let the udev bootscript build it in a tempfs? I could always rebuild /dev while the host system is running to the bare minimums of 6.8. Consider it's a given that not only will this build be done in many sessions, but there will be many power-off's, and many times I'll have to use the host for other purposes.
