[gentoo-dev] glibc-2.2.2 / binutils-2.1.10.0.7 are incompatible/buggy!!!!! Don't use them on rc4_pre

[Achim Gottinger]

Hi folks,

During compilation here I found that latest binutils segfault's during
linking of mpeg2_movie so it seems to be abit buggy.

With Glibc-2.2.2 some packages like daemontools/pam needs to be patched
to compile since there where some so
called header cleanups done in this release.

Please use glibc-2.2.1 and binutils-2.1.10 until I have updated all
packages that needs patching.

I merged glibc-2.2.2 two days ago.
Files including ls, make, tar... got segmentation fault and failed.

Is there any dependence about glibc?
Or safe way to test new glibc/binutils and packages which is dependent
on them?

Did you compile it or did you use the package from gentoo-updates?

Everything depends on glibc. :-)

I will upload a build environment this week. This can be used for such
tests.

Hmm seems like the uploaded package was build with binutils-2.1.10.
I made a new package for binutils-2.1.10.91.0.2 that fixes some ld
segfaults.
With that binutils version I build a new glibc-2.2.2 package (r1).
This should not give you segfaults. It works here for me. But many packages
do not compile
with glibc-2.2.2 because the headers have changed.

!!!!! Please wait till tomorrow it seems there is a bug in portage-1.4 that
prevents merge from working.
So this glibc-2.2.2-r1 package was build with binutils-2.1.10 too and you
sould not use it!

I just merged it from portage directory.

What I really want to know is how to track bugs and correct or make a
workaround complicatedly involved glibc-binutils-gcc-linux-...(etc).

After merging binutils-2.10.1.0.7 and everything gose beautifully.
But merging glibc-2.2.2, nothing would go its way.

Do you mean that packages must be recompiled under glibc-2.2.2 and
updated binutils environment?
If so, no non-developer gentoo user can succeed in upgrading glibc.

No normaly that should not be neccesary.

It seems that the problem is arch dependend.

I use i686-pc-linux-gnu here. The rc4_pre2 packages use
i486-pc-linux-gnu
as default.

I currently building glibc-2.2.2-r1 with binutils-2.10.92.0.2 on a pure
rc4_pre2 machine. I hope that works.

Did the glibc test's fail on your machine when using binutils 2.10.1?

On a i686 target they do.

I finished upgrading glibc to 2.2.2 on a pure rc4_pre2 system.
I used binutils-2.10.92.0.2 and I had to remove the manually created
virtual/glibc dir before I merged glibc.

I did not see any segfault yet.
