Hide struct ustat in include/linux/types.h from userspace?; needed to build glibc-2.3.2 on sh4
PATCH 1/1 Hide struct ustat in include/linux/types.h from userspace?; needed to build glibc-2.3.2 on sh4
I have to apply the following patch, kindly sent to me by Kaz Kojima, to the 2.4.19/2.4.20 kernel in
order to build glibc-2.3.2 for the sh4 processor. All it does is hide the kernel's definition of struct ustat from userspace. This prevents a clash with the userspace definition of struct ustat.
I verified this has not yet been applied as of 2.4.22-pre1.
I'm not familiar enough with the kernel/c-library interface to know whether this patch is the proper fix, but it's the one being used by the sh-linux folks.
The symptom without this patch is:
In file included from sys/ustat.h:30,
from ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ustat.c:21:
../sysdeps/generic/bits/ustat.h:26: error: redefinition of struct ustat' make[2]: *** [/build/sh4-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc-3.3-glibc-2.3.2/build-glibc/misc/ustat.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory /build/sh4-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc-3.3-glibc-2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2/misc'
Yeah, I know the sh folks have their own kernel tree, but IMHO one ought at least be able to build working toolchains with the
vanilla vger kernel headers. I now have a script that builds
cross-toolchains for many architectures from scratch at
http://kegel.com/crosstool
and I'm trying to nudge patches into the main trees of gcc, glibc, and linux so their next vanilla releases can be used to build working cross-compilers targeting every architecture glibc supports without patches.
