Hi,
I have a red hat 9.0 system which has glibc version 2.3.2-5 and default
g++ version 3.2.2.
My application doesn't compile on g++-3.2.2 because of strict
typechecking etc. So, I installed g++-2.95.3 on my machine. The
application compiled but then it always hangs on a runtime call to
pthread_cond_broadcast. I thought it is because of incompatibility of
glibc-2.3.2-5 with gcc-2.95.3. I then installed glibc 2.2.5.-34 with
which gcc-2.95.3 is known to work (for my application). I installed this
glibc in a custom directory.
Now, when i compile a simple "hello world" program with g++-2.95.3 with
flags -Wl,--dynamic-linker=<glibc-install-dir>/lib/ld-linux.so.2, the
program compiles and output of "ldd a.out" command shows that it is
picking glibc libraries from my custom installation only as desired.
But, there are two problems:
1. If I try to build a dynamic library by executing:
g++ -shared -fPIC -Wl,--dynamic-linker=<glibc-install-dir>/lib/ld-linux.so.2
ldd of the output library doesn't show my custom glibc installation.
rather it shows that glibc is being picked up from standard location.
How do I solve this? Is there something special that i need to do so
that dynamic libraries also pick glibc from my custom glibc installation.
2. How do I make my custom glibc installation as default glibc location
for gcc. I don't want to put
-Wl,--dynamic-linker=<glibc-install-dir>/lib/ld-linux.so.2 everytime?
Any help with above issues is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Regards,
Aseem.

The end is always good. If it's not good, it's not the end.
