Compiling glibc 2.2.3 with gcc 3.0...

[Tiago de Paula Peixoto]

This is most certainly a FAQ, but I haven't found it anywhere:

Can I compile glibc 2.2.3 with gcc 3.0 ?

I did try, and it compiled with no problems, but I got errors during 'make
check', in the iconvdata tests.

The (first) check that failed was 'bug-iconv2'. Here's the output:

GCONV_PATH=/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj/iconvdata LC_ALL=C  
/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj/elf/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path
/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj:/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj/math:/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj/elf:/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj/dlfcn:/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj/nss:/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj/nis:/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj/rt:/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj/resolv:/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj/crypt:/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj/linuxthreads
/home/count0/stuff/glibc-obj/iconvdata/bug-iconv2
This used to crash

works now
Segmentation fault

Here's some info on my system:

current glibc: 2.2.1
compiler: gcc 3.0
platform: i686
kernel: linux 2.4.5
configure options: --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads
I did apply the glibc-2.2.3-nss.diff patch.

Thanks for any help.
