Hello, Can anyone try to build glibc 2.5 or glibc HEAD using recent gcc 4.2 snapshots on linux ppc 32bit to confirm the problem? In my case: gcc-4.2.0-0.20070207.1.ppc (version from ~ October 2006 was afaik OK) binutils-2.17.50.0.12-1.ppc (tried 2.17.50.0.5, 0.7, 0.11, too) [builder2@forge sunrpc]$ CPP='gcc -E -x c-header' gdb --args /home/users/builder2/libc/build/elf/ld.so.1 --library-path /home/users/builder2/libc/build:/home/users/builder2/libc/build/math:/home/users/builder2/libc/build/elf:/home/users/builder2/libc/build/dlfcn:/home/users/builder2/libc/build/nss:/home/users/builder2/libc/build/nis:/home/users/builder2/libc/build/rt:/home/users/builder2/libc/build/resolv:/home/users/builder2/libc/build/crypt:/home/users/builder2/libc/build/nptl /home/users/builder2/libc/build/sunrpc/rpcgen -Y ../scripts -c rpcsvc/bootparam_prot.x -o /home/users/builder2/libc/build/sunrpc/xbootparam_prot.T GNU gdb 6.6 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
