Replacing eglibc with glibc in Yocto 1.6.1?

Hi

I'm using Yocto 1.6.1 (Daisy) in a project, and I'm not allowed to update to a newer version, I did however get the task to update from eglibc-2.19 to glibc-2.23.

So far I have imported the recipes from Yocto 2.1, including the tclibc-glibc.inc file.
Changed the TCLIBC variable to the new value.
Imported the configuration values from the other .inc files (such as preferred version) into my distro.conf.
Disabled the distro feature ptest (temporary).

After these changes I am getting the error log attached below. One solution I tried was setting the RPROVIDES from eglibc to "". It didn't change anything.

I am wondering if anyone has any advice on what I have done wrong?

Thank you in advance and best regards // John Ernberg

There are many changes which make it not a drop in replacement at recipe level. You should just change the existing recipe to backport patches from 2.1
Its not going to be a simple excercise even then
