New GLIBC package warning.

Just a heads up. Don't upgrade to the new glibc/gcc combo.

Unless you want some of this.

checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Or some of this.

/usr/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.0/../../../libc.so: file format not recognized; treating as linker script
/usr/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.0/../../../libc.so:5: parse error

Re: New GLIBC package warning.

Alright, I've come to the conclusion that it's the redhat / fedora patch that was introduced in -3.

I'm recompiling it right now to find out.

Re: New GLIBC package warning.

Odd, I removed the patch. Same thing..

I'm just going to rename -1 to -3 and leave it like that..

-1 gives no issues.. hmm..

Yes, and just to add to that, something else of relevance:

Re: New GLIBC package warning.

You need a new binutils with this new glibc.

I like this part:

/usr/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.0/../../../libc.so: file format not recognized; treating as linker script

libc not recognized... hah

Re: New GLIBC package warning.

/usr/lib/libc.so is actually a linker script, open it up with a text editor and you'll see. You'll also see the reason for the message and the "missing libc.so.5" or something like that: the new /usr/lib/libc.so uses scripting to enforce AS_NEEDED on everything that compiles against glibc. This is not supported by any version of binutils, except the ones in Fedora and the one in our testing repository, at the same place you got that glibc snapshot.

BTW: In the next few days we'll have another glibc, the -3 build breaks ancient binaries like the teamspeak client.
