Bash fails to build.

I recently upgraded by development machine to Ubuntu 9.04 and now I'm having trouble compiling bash. It's failing during the link with a bunch of unresolved symbols.

I am using the buildroot snapshot buildroot-2009.08.tar.gz.

I see one other mailing list posting around 9/1 with a similar issue. However, the suggestion to do a make bash followed by a make does not work around the issue.

Can post the bash config.log and the buildroot .config file on a web url somwhere it it will help.

Steve.

Here's the output from make:

Try 'make bash-dirclean; make bash'.

Your output looks exactly like the problem we have observed here, also on Ubuntu 9.04. Our solution has been to disable bash entirely and to adjust all scripts on the target to work with the busybox sh.

Sven

'make bash-dirclean; make bash' ends up with the same link failure as well.

Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of disabling bash and changing the scripts as some scripts in my application come from sources I do not control.

In the short term, I'll just create a partition on my devel box with a Ubuntu 8.10 installed and go back to that for building buildroot.

I filed a Bugzilla report under buildroot.

Steve.
