I've announced it on the NPTL mailing list a couple of days ago. There is no support without NPTL since the TLS setup isn't present in sufficient form in the LinuxThreads code which has to work on stone-old kernels. But the NPTL code is more than stable enough to run on test systems. In fact, I've a complete system running using it. Announcement: https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/phil-list/2002-December/000387.html It is not easy to build glibc and you can easily ruin your system. You need very recent tools, the CVS version of glibc and the NPTL add-on. See for instance https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/phil-list/2002-December/000352.html for a recipe on how to build glibc and how to run binaries using it *without* replacing your system's libc. There have been That's save but still the build is demanding. I know I'll be lynched again for saying this, but it's the only experience I have: use RHL8 and get the very latest tools (gcc, binutils) from rawhide. Then you should be fine. If there is interest in RPMs of the binaries I might _try_ to provide some. But this would mean replacing the system's libc. -- --------------. ,-. 444 Castro Street Ulrich Drepper \ ,-----------------' \ Mountain View, CA 94041 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `--------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
