Package: glibc
Version: 2.6.1-5
Severity: important


glibc fails to build from source on m68k due to missing lowlevellock.h.


lowlevellock.h is only the top of the iceberg. m68k is completely
unsupported upstream and doesn't have TLS support. We (the glibc team)
do not plan to work on that. Patches are welcome though.


FWIW, I recently tried building glibc-2.5-11 but it has a problem with 
semaphore.h that appears to be linuxthreads related. I was able to fix the 
build but that header was omitted from the installation, causing userspace 
breakage. I never resolved that, and I don't know whether glibc 2.5 is 
adequate for Debian 5.0. I know precious little about glibc hacking and 
I'm still working on drivers so I gave up on it.

The gentoo portage tree has:

glibc-2.2.5-r10.ebuild
glibc-2.3.2-r12.ebuild
glibc-2.3.5-r3.ebuild
glibc-2.3.6-r4.ebuild
glibc-2.3.6-r5.ebuild
glibc-2.4-r4.ebuild
glibc-2.5-r2.ebuild
glibc-2.5-r3.ebuild
glibc-2.5-r4.ebuild
glibc-2.5.1.ebuild
glibc-2.6.ebuild
glibc-2.6.1.ebuild

Has anyone tried these ebuilds on m68k? Maybe they have patches.
