Read the file BUGS on how to report bugs.
This looks like you've got some files with length zero lying around.
Please always use patch -E or a newer patch version. For now:
rm `find . -size 0`
in your source directory and start with a fresh build in the separate
build directory.
Xavyer> Apply patches:
Xavyer> cd glibc-2.1
Xavyer> patch -p1 < ../glibc-2.1-2.1.1pre1.diff > ../log.patch.1 2>&1
patch -p1 -E !
Xavyer> patch -p1 < ../glibc-2.1.1pre1-2.1.1pre2.diff > ../log.patch.2 2>&1
likewise
Xavyer> Check that the patches applied OK:
Xavyer> less ../log.patch.[12]
Xavyer> Read INSTALL:
Xavyer> less INSTALL
Xavyer> Prepare for build:
Xavyer> On my first attempt, I issued the './configure ...' command shown
Xavyer> below. I received an error message indicating that it would
Xavyer> be better to move the '/usr/include' directory out of the way.
Xavyer> This seemed like a reasonable suggestion to me (at least not
Xavyer> 'un-reasonable'), so that is why I performed the next step.
The message is different, glibc will remove some files, you don't need
to remove those yourself.
Xavyer> su - root
Xavyer> cd /usr
Xavyer> mv include include.save
Xavyer> mkdir include
Xavyer> cd include
Xavyer> ln -s ../src/linux/include/asm asm
Xavyer> ln -s ../src/linux/include/linux linux
Xavyer> exit
Xavyer> Configure for build:
Xavyer> mkdir glibc
Xavyer> cd glibc
Xavyer> ../glibc-2.1/configure \
Xavyer> --prefix=/usr \
Fine
Xavyer> --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
Xavyer> --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
Just i686-pc-linux-gnu is enough.
Xavyer> --enable-add-ons
Xavyer> (Yes, '--prefix=/usr' is probably not the smartest thing to
Xavyer> do ... letting 'prefix' default to '/usr/local' yields the same
Xavyer> error message)
