GLIBC __deregister_frame_pointer compiler error

Hi,

While trying to compile glibc on the 2.4 kernel, I get the error messages included below. On 2.3.99, everything compiles fine. Any ideas where to look to solve this?

Thanks

While trying to compile glibc on the 2.4 kernel, I get the error messages included below. On 2.3.99, everything compiles fine. Any ideas where to look to solve this?

Something must have changed. Just changing the kernel shouldn't cause a previously working build to fail.

However, there is a known problem here. glibc has a list of routines exported from libgcc. This list contains gcc internal EH routines. This list of EH routines is now different because of the IA-64 specific EH support. If you delete these EH routines from the glibc export list, or if you add the new IA-64 specific routines, then this problem will go away. Either way, you are making an ABI change, so this may require recompiling all libraries and applications linked against glibc.

The specific file to look at is csu/Versions, and look at section "Exception handling support functions from libgcc".

Ulrich is already aware of the problem, and is planning to do something about it, though I don't know exactly what.

I have only seen this problem show up when trying to link against C++ shared libraries. Oh, I remember why, whether the problem shows up or not depends on which order you link in libgcc and glibc. I don't remember which order it was that failed, but you can experiment.

The Red Hat OS group deleted all of the EH routines from their version of glibc to avoid this problem with their builds.

I tried removing this section and recompiling, but I still get the same error message. Do I need to alter anything else?

No. You change the csu/Versions file, you build glibc, and then link against the new glibc.

I don't know why you would see problems while building glibc, since you don't link glibc against itself when building it.

Hi Jim,

I first tried building with 2.4 kernel and header files. When that failed, I replaced the 2.4 header files and kernel with 2.3.99. After restarting the machine, I was able to compile glibc.

I tried removing this section and recompiling, but I still get the same error message. Do I need to alter anything else?

I think if you link libc first you get the unresolved symbols.
