How to rebuild glibc on older gcc & kernel?

dlin · 2013-02-12 16:32:46

My env (these are dummy package with STLinux's prebuild binaries)

binutils 2.18.50.0.8-43
gcc 4.2.4-76
gcc-libs 4.2.4-76
glibc 2.6.1-74
linux-api-headers 2.6.23.17-1

I'm using old kernel on sh4 CPU arch and want to upgrade to newest gcc. So, I changed the glibc's PKGBUILD as

# toolchain build order: linux-api-headers->glibc->binutils->gcc->binutils->glibc
# NOTE: valgrind requires rebuilt with each major glibc version

pkgname=glibc
pkgver=2.17
pkgrel=3

url="http://www.gnu.org/software/libc"
license=('GPL' 'LGPL')

makedepends=('gcc')
backup=(etc/gai.conf
        etc/locale.gen
