Hi all,
attached are first versions of patches to make binutils 2.9.1.0.4
from HJL as available in Redhat's rpm. These binutils are required
to compile glibc 2.1 with versioning. Also attached is a first crude
version of patches for glibc 2.0.99. I haven't tested them yet on any
machine, so these patches are really for hackers only.
Rebuilding glibc triggers a pile of bugs in these binutils and egcs.
Egcs dumps core when compiling nss/nsswitch.c with -O2 or better.
For now the glibc patch has a small hack in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/-
mips/Makefile which reduces optimzation to -O1 for this file.
Binutils emit a large number of messages when rebuilding glibc, among
them some ``Symbol type of symbol foo has changed from x to y''
messages and a large pile of assertions. You'll need a water cooled
/dev/null device. I'd appreciate I'd anybody could take a look at
the binutils and egcs problems while I'm continuing on glibc itself.
Ralf
