upgrade causing segmentation faults and version `GLIBC_PRIVATE' not found

[Jeremy C. Reed]

I built glibc-2.3.2 with glibc-linuxthreads.

My prefix was /usr and "make install" broke because /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is
removed and the next command "ln" didn't exist. I modified Makerules to
not delete that file and just do "ln -fs" instead, but ln then has a
segmentation fault.

So I installed with install_root defined.

Then I used pax to copy all those new files to /.

Then all was broken again.

I added backed up my /lib to /libold, so I could do:

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/libold /libold/ld-linux.so.2 /bin/ls

An example, of using my /bin/ls with the new libs:

$  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pkgsrc/devel/glibc/work.tahoma/glibc-installed/lib
/usr/pkgsrc/devel/glibc/work.tahoma/glibc-installed/lib/ld-linux.so.2
/bin/ls
Segmentation fault

Another example:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pkgsrc/devel/glibc/work.tahoma/glibc-installed/lib
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/pkgsrc/devel/glibc/work.tahoma/glibc-installed/lib/ld-linux.so.2
/usr/bin/ls
/usr/bin/ls: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_PRIVATE' not found
(required by
/usr/pkgsrc/devel/glibc/work.tahoma/glibc-installed/lib/libc.so.6)

My original system:

glibc-2.1.2-15 (rpm version)
glibc-devel-2.1.2-15 (rpm version)
glibc-profile-2.1.2-15 (rpm version)
(but most of that is overwritten)

/lib/libc-2.0.7.so
/lib/libc-2.1.2.so
/lib/libc.so.5 -> libc.so.5.4.38
/lib/libc.so.5.4.38
/lib/libc.so.6 -> /lib/libc-2.1.2.so

Linux 2.2.14-3 kernel.

It was Turbo Linux 6.0 English Server (Coyote). But many utilities have
changed. I have been replacing all software from building recent from
source.

It had binutils-2.9.1.0.25-7 installed. But I overwrote it with
binutils-2.13.2.1 (which I built from source).

It has gcc 2.95.2. "rpm -q -a" shows:
gcc-2.95.2-2
gcc-compat-2.7.2.3-2
gcc-g++-2.95.2-2
gcc-objc-2.95.2-2

I built gcc 3.2.1 from source and installed to /usr/gcc-3.2.1/. I used it
to build glibc.

My gmake is 3.80 (also built from source).

I looked through INSTALL and FAQ, and out-dated glibc2 howto, and the old
Installing glibc-2 on Linux howto,

To fix my problem, I simply fix the links back to:
 ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.1.2.so
 libc.so.6 -> libc-2.1.2.so

Many of the rest of the libs point to the 2.3.2 versions, like:
libdl.so.2 -> libdl-2.3.2.so

I would guess that ld-2.3.2.so and libc-2.3.2.so would be compatible, but
they don't seem to be.

Some more examples:

$ /usr/bin/ldd /usr/bin/ldd
lddlibc4: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GCC_3.0' not found (required by
lddlibc4)

$ /usr/bin/ldd /bin/ls
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x2aac6000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaab000)

$ /usr/bin/ldd /sbin/init
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x2aac6000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaab000)

$ /usr/bin/ldd --version | head -1
ldd (GNU libc) 2.3.2

$ /sbin/ldconfig -V | head -1
ldconfig (GNU libc) 2.3.2

Everything is fine now, but ...

# /sbin/ldconfig

$ ls
Segmentation fault

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           18 Mar 21 17:44 /lib/libc.so.6 ->
/lib/libc-2.1.2.so

(The example above showed that ldconfig making new links made my system
basically unusable until I repaired only the two links.)

Any suggestions?

How to migrate to glibc-2.3.2??
