Hallo everyone, I am trying to get the components for a Debian mipsel-base.tgz built, based on glibc-2.2.2. I am working in a chroot()-environment, where I have installed glibc 2.2.2, binutils 2.10.91 and gcc 2.95.3 as precompiled binaries, all from Maciej's packages (glibc-2.2.2-2.mipsel.rpm, gcc-2.95.3-14.mipsel.rpm, binutils-2.10.91-1.mipsel.rpm plus devel and dependency packages). Gawk and perl are self-compiled inside the chroot()-environment. When trying to compile fileutils, the ./configure starts ok, but when coming to "checking for working mktime..." the script just hangs forever, and according to top there is nothing consuming CPU time (except for top itself). Compiling the fileutils on the "host system", i.e. outside the chroot()-environment using egcs-1.0.3a and glibc-2.0.6 the problem does not appear. Can anybody confirm this on another system? Any ideas what can be the reason for this?
