I have fixed > it in glibc CVS. Just to clarify, the glibc rpm in your Redhat 7.1 is compiled with -mips1 right ? So as it is broken yes ? So if I REALLY wanted to use pthreads with your redhat 7.1 distribution, could I get away with checking out the current glibc from CVS, recompiling it and installing over the rpm glibc ? Or is that too simplistic, and it will need recompilation of a lot of other applications ? If so could you give me an idea of just how big a job that is ?
