[gentoo-user] glibc-2.3.6 fails to compile (in a vserver)

[gentoo-user] glibc-2.3.6 fails to compile (in a vserver)

[Alan McKinnon]

Hi,

A glibc upgrade from 2.3.5-r2 to 2.3.6-r5 inside a vserver is failing on 
me.

It's a new install using a 20060317 stage3 built for vservers by hollow. 
I need a 2.3 glibc for the app that will run in it, hence the very old 
stage3. Running a later glibc is not an option.

The stage originally had baselayout-vserver1.1.?, I've changed this to 
baselayout-1.13.0_alpha2 because 
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/vps/vserver-howto.xml implies it should 
work.

USE settings for glibc:

nazgul-master / # emerge -av glibc

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Update:

According to

http://www.nabble.com/Next-showstopper-for-new-user--setjmp.S-in-glibc-2.3.6-t3553495.html
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/crossgcc/2004-10/msg00170.html
http://www.ecos.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2006-04/msg00090.html

it could be a -march issue.

so I changed CFLAGS from
-O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe
to
-O2 -march=i686 -pipe
and remerged gcc and glibc

But still I have the same error.

Thanks. I patched glibc according to that bug, and guess what? Same 
error. Which seems weird given the explanation given for the failure.

But no matter, I found a different stage3 to use with a suitable glibc 
that doesn't fail like this <shrug>

I'm reminded of the old saw:

"It's software. Surely you didn't expect it to work?"

:-)
