Hello,
I am trying to revive an old linux server installation, which still has
libc5. Sadly, most current software does not compile anymore on this
system, including the tc utility. As with other tools (net-tools,
coreutils, procps etc.) I tried to compile and statically link
(LDFLAGS=-static) on a more recent linux machine and copy the static
binaries over to the old machine.
But no luck with tc. Even on the host where I compiled it (Debian Sarge
3.1), the static binary (/usr/local/iproute2-2.6.16-060323/usr/sbin/tc)
does not see any qdisc:
xoff:~# /sbin/tc qdisc ls dev eth0
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
xoff:~# /usr/local/iproute2-2.6.16-060323/usr/sbin/tc qdisc ls dev eth0
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: [Unknown qdisc, optlen=20]
The source code makes use of dlopen() / dlsym() functions, which may be the
reason for the failure. Does anybody know a way to make it work in a static
binary?
Regards
Matthias
