Compile SUCCESS! on powerpc-unknown-linux-gnulibc1

[Franz Sirl]

Hi,

the patch
< http://homepages.munich.netsurf.de/Franz.Sirl/misc/ppclibc1.diff > against
971105, a simple adaption of Richard Henderson's libio patch, solved my
compilation problems for the full-blown egcs. (It compiles, but it fails
the lib tests with "ld exit status 1" with gas-971111 ;-) )

The "problem" on Linux/PPC was the same as on Linux/Alpha, the RedHat 4.2
based non-Intel installations use glibc-961212 (1.99 alpha), which need
special treatment for libc-lock.h and stdio-lock.h. The patch simply
duplicates Richard's patch for powerpc and adds library detection code in
config.guess.

Some points:
- have a close look, it's my first time dealing with configure (BTW, where
to get autoconf-2.12._1_?)
- eventually there is room for unification for Linux-gnulibc1 on
alpha/powerpc/sparc/mips in config.guess/configure.in
- gcc/configure.in for alpha*gnulibc1 adds mkfrag t-linux-gnulibc1, is this
necessary for powerpc?

Bye,
Franz.

Ah, yes I remember seeing this in the glibc rpm-spec, for alpha its
ld.so.2, for all others ld.so.1.

So the only simpification possible will be common libc/stdio-lock.h
prototypes for alpha and powerpc. Will you do that and submit/check in the
patch?

Thanks,
Franz.

M68k, Sparc, and MIPS never used glibc 1.99, but rather linux libc5.

Probably not.  Alpha changed the name of ld.so along with the
libc major version number between 1.99 and 2.0.0.
