The glibc package hasn't been built since version 2.25 more than 3 years
ago. The work to get it building again is *huge* and I don't see the
point in just refreshing a patch to get the package to fail only a few
seconds later.

Instead, please provide a full patch to get it building, we'll include
it. In the meantime, downgrading this bug as a wishlist.

Regards,
Aurelien

FI, in NEWS:

* The add-ons mechanism for building additional packages at the same time as
  glibc has been removed.  The --enable-add-ons configure option is now
  ignored.

So fbtl needs to be included in Makefiles etc. just like htl is for
instance.

Bug#979160: glibc FTBFS on kfreebsd-*: Uses configure option --enable-add-ons=fbtl

[Mattias Ellert]

Source: glibc
Version: 2.31-7
Severity: important
User: debian-...@lists.debian.org

The builds on kfreebsd-* currently fail during the patching step
because one of the kfreebsd specific patches fails to apply.

Fixing this issue is trivial and simply requires a refresh of the patch
(attached).

However, this trivial fix is not sufficient. The build then fails with:

*** On GNU/kFreeBSD systems it is normal to compile GNU libc with the
*** `fbtl' add-on.  Without that, the library will be
*** incompatible with normal GNU/kFreeBSD systems.
*** If you really mean to not use this add-on, run configure again
*** using the extra parameter `--disable-sanity-checks'.

The package build tries to enable the fbtl add-on. The call to
configure contains:

$(CURDIR)/configure \
--host=x86_64-kfreebsd-gnu \
--build=$configure_build --prefix=/usr \
--enable-add-ons=libidn,"fbtl " \

However, the configure script does not have an --enable-add-ons option,
so this is ignored. (Option is not listed by ./configure --help, nor
found by grepping for it.)
