The recent Glibc releases needs Linux kernel >= 3.2. So if you copy the Glibc from the host system (or statically link it into the executable) it won't work because the kernel version is too low. If you just link the executable dynamically with host Glibc but attempt to run it with the Glibc on your target board it won't work too because the executable may use symbols which don't exist in the old Glibc. Running Linux 2.4.36.1 is just wrong in 2023 (it was already wrong even in 2013). > Do you have any suggestions when building an executable file running > under a Linux of old version? Build a cross compiler and use the root FS of the target board as the sysroot. But again it's just wrong to run Linux 2.4 today, so you'll likely encounter problems here or there. And it's very difficult to find any support because nobody wants to install something based on Linux 2.4 and reproduce the problem for you, in 2023. Try upgrade the software stack for the target board. -- Xi Ruoyao <xry111@xxxxxxxxxxx> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University
