building glibc

Hi,

I'm having trouble building glibc. I'm using the current turbolinux SRPM, glibc-2.1.3-hjl000629p1.src.rpm.

My build environment is HP's NUE.
After applying all the patches, doing configure and then make, I get:

....

make -C misc subdir_lib
make[2]: Entering directory /home/alanau/src/glibc/glibc-2.1-hjl/misc' make[2]: *** No rule to make target /home/alanau/glibc-build/misc/mincore.o', needed by `/home/alanau/glibc-build/misc/stamp.o'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/alanau/src/glibc/glibc-2.1-hjl/misc' make[1]: *** [misc/subdir_lib] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alanau/src/glibc/glibc-2.1-hjl'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Does anyone know what the problem is? Has anyone successfully built these sources from within NUE?

Thanks.

Your kernel header files are too old.

Thanks. You were right.

It gets a bit furthur now but gets the following error:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/alanau/src/glibc/glibc-2.1-hjl/sunrpc'
/home/alanau/glibc-build/elf/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /home/alanau/glibc-build:/home/alanau/glibc-build/math:/home/alanau/glibc-build/elf:/home/alanau/glibc-build/nss:/home/alanau/glibc-build/nis:/home/alanau/glibc-build/db2:/home/alanau/glibc-build/rt:/home/alanau/glibc-build/resolv /home/alanau/glibc-build/sunrpc/rpcgen -Y `gcc -print-file-name=cpp | sed
"s|/cpp$||"` -c rpcsvc/bootparam_prot.x -o
/home/alanau/glibc-build/sunrpc/xbootparam_prot.T

object: Error 38
make[2]: *** [/home/alanau/glibc-build/sunrpc/xbootparam_prot.stmp] Error
127

In fact, get the same error if I invoke the newly built ld.so directly:

bash$ pwd
/home/alanau/glibc-build/elf
bash$ ./ld.so ~/tmp/a.out
doSyscall: unimplemented system call 1212 /home/alanau/tmp/a.out: error in loading shared
libraries: /home/alanau/tmp/a.out: cannot stat shared object: Error 38

Not sure if this is an NUE problem.

Thanks.

I saw this when building glibc on 2.4.0-test1 kernels when IA-64 patch introduced new stat/fstat/lstat interfaces. You need an extra patch (included below courtesy of David M) which solves the problem.

Yes, that should fix the problem. We should also update the simulator to support the new system calls. I'll put it on my todo list.
