Subject: [Bug build/25799] New: python dependency (as strict requirement)
Date: Tue, 07 Apr 2020 15:32:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-25799-131@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

            Bug ID: 25799
           Summary: python dependency (as strict requirement)
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: serg.brester at sebres dot de

  Target Milestone: ---

Starting from 
[c6982f7efc1c70fe2d6160a87ee44d871ac85ab0] it is impossible to build glibc
without python (configure would fail, as well as it is added to strict
requirements now), where previously it was only needed to build some manual and
to run some tests.

But python itself needs glibc (to build or start).

This looks like a cyclic dependency, so for example it is interesting whether
it is ever possible now to compile that from scratch.
