Re: What caused my executable file not to run on a Linux of old version 2.4.36.1

Hi, Ruoyao and Kai,

The kernel is too old and Please see errors occurred below. You mentioned "because the executable may use symbols which don't exist in the old Glibc" and You are right.  How to fix it?

By the way, the GNU ld command is 64-bit. However I want to build 32-bit executables.

dingjun@G02515:~/DAQ_XYZCross2_cmake/build$ objdump -f /usr/bin/ld
/usr/bin/ld:     file format elf64-x86-64
architecture: i386:x86-64, flags 0x00000150:
HAS_SYMS, DYNAMIC, D_PAGED
start address 0x0000000000048630

Can I fix such an error with 32-bit ld? Which GNU C/C++ compiler version can offer us a 32-bit ld to link the objects?

I look forward to your help!

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Dingjun

For pure curiosity I checked whether one could create a  cross-GCC for
some quite
old Linux system like CentOS 3.9/i386 for which I still had target
headers (including
the kernel ones) and libraries in a sysroot. The GCC sources were
gcc-11.4.0 and
GNU binutils sources were 2.39. The 'usr/include/linux/version.h' seemed
to tell
the kernel being 2.4.20 in CentOS 3.9/i386.
The sysroot inluded also the original native GCC for CentOS 3.9/i386 and
it seemed
still to run somehow in my uptodate Fedora Linux :

[root@fedora bin]# ./i386-redhat-linux-gcc -v

The cross-GCC built almost succeeded with the same configure options I
had used for
CentOS 6.10/i686. Only producing libsanitizer for the target CentOS 3.9
didn't work so
adding '--disable-libsanitizer' was required. Some missing header in
'usr/include/linux'
stopped the build in the first try.
