glibc-2.4

[ryan]

Released 20060306.

From release announcement I dont know if you can call this "stable"...

glibc-2.4 Release Announcement (​http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2006-03/msg00050.html)

Looks like 2.4.1 will be the "stable" stable 2.4 release ;-)

Best start hammering on it

I believe this has been mentioned on the lists, but I'm also adding it here...one of the tests in the testsuite (tst-cancel24) uses C++ code and fails because it can't find libstdc++.so. Perhaps this needs to be added to "Essential Symlinks"?

When building glibc-headers on alpha the following needs to go into config.cache

{{ libc_cv_forced_unwind=yes libc_cv_c_cleanup=yes libc_cv_mlong_double_128=yes libc_cv_alpha_tls=yes }}

Changes for Glibc 2.4 are in, just need to proof read them.

[Jim Gifford]

Glibc proof-reading has occured, all fixes are in to make if flow better.

Need another dev to proof read a make changes. Recommending Chris and Jeremy take a look and make changes.

I just checked - the testsuite failure for tst-cancel24 can be fixed by symlinking /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 -> /tools/lib. Can we add this to "Essential Symlinks"?

x86_64 pure64 needs the ld-linux.so.2 temporary symlink corrected to point to 2.4 instead of 2.3.90, see ​http://ninja.linux-phreak.biz/pipermail/clfs-dev/2006-April/000009.html

[Jim Gifford]

This needs to be a variable in packages.ent, to make changes simplier. Since I never built a x86_64 build, I missed that one. Sorry guys.

[Joe Ciccone]

I changed ld-2.3.90.so to ld-2.4.so. I also added a entity in package.ent named glibc-ld-name which is going to represent that file name. see r1391
