I came across on some issues in the building procedure which are not solved in the debian patches so I think I should report them, ask for comments on them and be as solid as possible in my descriptions.
First there are 2 definitions of "sigset_t" One in "(path_to_glibc)/libpthread/signal/signal.h" > typedef uint64_t sigset_t; and one in "(path_to_glibc)/misc/sys/select.h" > typedef __sigset_t sigset_t; The build procedure fails if I don't comment one of them out. Secondly the building procedure was looking for the header files located in "(path_to_glibc)/libpthread/sysdeps/generic/bits" in the "(path_to_glibc)/bits" so I had to copy them there manually. And finally I get the error "collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status" in this part here > make[4]: Entering directory '/../source/hurd' > /../build/libc_pic.a(sigsetops.os): In function `__spin_unlock': > /../source/signal/../sysdeps/mach/i386/machine-lock.h:44: multiple definition of `__spin_unlock' > /../build/libc_pic.a(spin-lock.os):/tmp/nix-build-glibc-hurd-cross-i686-pc-gnu-2.18.drv-16/source/mach/../sysdeps/mach/i386/machine-lock.h:44: first defined here > /../build/libc_pic.a(sigsetops.os): In function `__spin_try_lock': > /../source/signal/../sysdeps/mach/i386/machine-lock.h:59: multiple definition of `__spin_try_lock' > /../build/libc_pic.a(spin-lock.os):/tmp/nix-build-glibc-hurd-cross-i686-pc-gnu-2.18.drv-16/source/mach/../sysdeps/mach/i386/machine-lock.h:59: first defined here > /../build/libc_pic.a(sigsetops.os): In function `__spin_lock_locked': > /../source/signal/../sysdeps/mach/i386/machine-lock.h:74: multiple definition of `__spin_lock_locked' > /../build/libc_pic.a(spin-lock.os):/tmp/nix-build-glibc-hurd-cross-i686-pc-gnu-2.18.drv-16/source/mach/../sysdeps/mach/i386/machine-lock.h:74: first defined here > collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status > ../Makerules:589: recipe for target '/../build/libc_pic.os' failed > make[2]: *** [/tmp/nix-build-glibc-hurd-cross-i686-pc-gnu-2.18.drv-16/build/libc_pic.os] Error 1 I am working on solving this last one, but I would like any possible help.
