I had a compilation error when building make with uClibc without GNU glob:
-------->8--------
dir.c: In function 'dir_setup_glob':
dir.c:1225:5: error: 'glob_t' has no member named 'gl_opendir'
gl->gl_opendir = open_dirstream;
^
dir.c:1226:5: error: 'glob_t' has no member named 'gl_readdir'
gl->gl_readdir = read_dirstream;
^
dir.c:1227:5: error: 'glob_t' has no member named 'gl_closedir'
gl->gl_closedir = ansi_free;
^
dir.c:1228:5: error: 'glob_t' has no member named 'gl_stat'
gl->gl_stat = local_stat;
^
-------->8--------
Enabling GNU glob resolved my troubles.
Now I've looked into more details of error cause and what happens is that those
fields (gl_opendir, gl_readdir, gl_closedir, gl_stat) in glob_t in
uclibc/include/glob.h are surrounded by "#ifdef __UCLIBC_HAS_GNU_GLOB__".
"Make" might be built without GNU glob on target system because it contains its
own copy in source tree and uses it when it detects that target system doesn’t
have GNU glob. However the way it checks for GNU glob is not compatible with
uClibc, because make/configure checks for " _GNU_GLOB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 1"
as an indicator that GNU glob is present, but uclibc/gnu-versions.h defines
_GNU_GLOB_INTERFACE_VERSION as 1 regardless of whether GNU glob is present in
configuration. Thus make/configure decides that GNU glob is present when it is
not, which causes further compilation error.
I also has been told that arcv2_defconfig file is not yet present in upstream
uClibc repository, so only "defconfig" is applicable.
