Dudes,
I've been looking for a glibc/egcs mailing list where I can discuss my problems with getting glibc/egcs to compile and install reliably.
I tried for ages to get glibc-2.0.94 to compile and install properly from my libc5 based system with no success even though I got egcs 1.0.3a to build and compile. That didn't work right either, so I downloaded the binaries for egcs 1.0.3 and glibc 2.0.4 plus binutils 2.9.1.0.4 (glibc version). Installed all three on my machine, after moving my old libc5 based libraries/includes to a safe place. Did a quick compile of a hello world program and checked it by using ldd to verify it was indeed loading glibc libraries. All seemed well. I decided to compile and install egcs 1.0.3a as a custom tailored version for my system (i486). Configuration went well, so off I went to build the whole thing by doing a 'make bootstrap'. It stopped after about 30 minutes into the build with an error couldn't parse something. I'm ready to scream or something at this stage. This is really strange. Are there any problems I should know about?
Configuration: glibc-2.0.4 binaries egcs-1.0.3 binaries binutils-2.9.1.04 binaries kernel-2.1.103 (probably has no bearing I guess)
Thanks for any pointers (and yes I've read the FAQS et al) Could it be that I'm on 2.0.4 binaries, and should I use 2.0.6 or whatever?
Cheers, Alex (desperately seeking glibc)
