glibc-2.1 + egcs -- no go

glibc-2.1 + egcs -- no go

[Shing-Gene Yung]

Hi,
I've managed to compile and install glibc-2.1 (from the rawhide dist)
using egcs-1.1.2-pre3...no errors. But when I try to rebuild
egcs-1.1.2pre3 or even just egcs-1.1.1, the make bootstrap fails with
undefined reference to fstat, stat, etc. What's the next step?

RH5.2, kernel 2.2.3.

thanks,

I'm trying to build egcs-1.1.2-pre3 on glibc-2.1 based system (sometime
earlier it was Slackware-3.6, but I upgraded to glibc-2.1 about a month ago).
Seems that there are no problems to build egcs (previous compiler - 
egcs-1.1.1 with patches from H.J.Lu). Currently as is Ok up to stage3.

From Your problems I can suspect broken glibc-2.1 installation:

Question: what is Your  libc.so:  if it is simply symbolic link than
	   that's wrong as it should be linker script.

Make also sure You have only one libc.so.

I have following /usr/lib/libc.so

/* GNU ld script
   Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
   the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a )

You forgot the first step;-).  Read the FAQ that comes with glibc
2.1, especially question 2.7:
2.7.    Looking through the shared libc file I haven't found the
        functions `stat', `lstat', `fstat', and `mknod' and while
        linking on my Linux system I get error messages.  How is
        this supposed to work?

yes, I did read through the FAQ and saw that entry. I've checked
/usr/lib/libc.so and it does have that "group". So I'm at a loss at what
to do next.
