            Bug ID: 26209
           Summary: Compiling Glibc-2.11.1 on Raspberrypi4 fails as
                    config.guess returns armv7l unknown
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.11
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

  Target Milestone: ---

I am trying to compile an old gligc-2.11.1 on a Raspberry pi 4. As the
configure script fails with armv7l unsupported, I cannot start make.
I do not have any problem with compiling OpenSSL or other packages on the RPi4.

I thought that the script config.guess was faulty, the owner
config-patches@gnu.org  (Ben Ellison) says that he does not know what is wrong.
The compiler when configured for native reports alot more information see below
The problem falls between the compiler and the config.guess script. 
Below is the detail....

I don't know the answer to this, sorry. You will need to ask the glibc
folks.
Cheers,

The actual invocation of configure with error messages is below. My thoughts
are that the term "armv7l" will need translation to be understood by the
compiler. I think it means armv7  32bit without hard floating point, but as
most of the code in an Rpi4 is armhf ( hard float 32bit) as in the eabi, this
is misleading. The cpu is in fact 64bit capable but Rpi OS's do not use this.

The compiler asked for -march and -mcpu as native, gets more detail from
somewhere and gives

Subject: Re: config.guess fails on Raspberry pi4 giving arm7l which is
unrecognised by GNU compilers /scripts for glibc-version build

config.guess (which I maintaing) is working:

  configure:2018: checking build system type
  configure:2036: result: armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
  configure:2058: checking host system type
  configure:2073: result: armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

The configure script for glibc is obviously failing somewhere

This bugzilla is for GCC not glibc.

See https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for glibc bugs.
