             Bug #: 14624
           Summary: `make localedata/install-locales` fails with "FATAL:
                    kernel too old"
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.16
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: christophe.jarry@ouvaton.org
                CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


I have the error "FATAL: kernel too old" when I try to generate
locales with "make localedata/install-locales".

I installed Linux headers from linux-libre-3.5.4-gnu
(http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/3.5.4-gnu/linux-libre-3.5.4-gnu.tar.bz2),
then binutils-2.22, and gcc-4.7.2 (gmp-5.0.5, mpc-1.0.1, mpfr-3.1.1).

I am trying to cross-compile glibc-2.16.0 with the above tools:

tar xf glibc-2.16.0.tar.bz2
pushd glibc-2.16.0
tar xf ../glibc-ports-2.16.0.tar.bz2
mv -v glibc-ports-2.16.0 ports
sed -i.orig "s/\ -lgcc_eh\|\ -lgcc_s//g" Makeconfig
# The above command is required in order for the build to complete
echo "" > ports/sysdeps/mips/mips64/n64/Makefile
echo "" > ports/sysdeps/mips/mips64/n32/Makefile
echo "" > ports/sysdeps/mips/mips32/Makefile
sed -i "/default) machine=/s/n32/64/g" \
    ports/sysdeps/mips/preconfigure
mkdir -pv ../glibc-build
cd ../glibc-build

cat > config.cache << EOF

cat > configparms << EOF

localedef is executed on your host machine - the localedef you crosscompiled.

You need to be able to execute localedef when you install the locales and if
you're running on an older machine or cannot execute localedef, it will fail.

Then, is there a way to generate a localedef for the "build" architecture that
would generate locales for the "target"?

The cross-localedef code in EGLIBC is the most complicated of the 
cross-build improvements there and I haven't yet attempted to extract any 
of it for merging to glibc.

I'd say that the part most clearly desirable for glibc - but also the most 
complicated - is the new command-line options for localedef to allow it to 
generate locales for another system (--little-endian, --big-endian, 
--uint32-align).  That would mean that if you built / installed glibc 
natively, the resulting localedef binary (run with the corresponding 
glibc) could be used to cross-generate locales for other systems, as well 
as to generate locales natively.

There are other pieces to support building the cross-localedef as a 
standalone tool, possibly for a system with older glibc or not using glibc 
as the host C library at all.  Those pieces are messier and quite likely 
more controversial - but less invasive than the basic support (originally 
by Richard Sandiford) for building locales for a system with different 
endianness or alignment of uint32_t.
