Greg, you are the one complaining, not us. Noone is paid to support people trying to compile their own glibc (usually with massive ./configure commandlines often bearing no resemblance to those used in distribution packages), unfortunately, and the project lacks any _volunteers_ to do that work. This is why we have to deal with build problem bugs in this way, just letting them pollute the bugzilla database in open state indefinitely is even worse. There is no obligation for noone here to provide technical support; sometimes we do, sometimes we can't. Sergei, if you want to volunteer to help people with their build problems, I think you would be welcome to - just revisit bugs closed as dupes of this. Are you willing to spend the time? The same applies to the lack of comprehensive and up-to-date build instructions. As tgp1994 said, someone indeed needs to step in and help out here for the situation to improve, but it's easy to follow up "but it can't be me because X". If you want to continue this discussion *and* have concrete technical suggestions that do not involve the current already-overworked libc hackers spending more time supporting users trying to compile their own libc, please follow up on libc-help. -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REOPENED |RESOLVED Resolution| |WORKSFORME http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=333 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
