Objet: [Clfs-dev] Updating EGLIBC configure command
Greetings,
The next change I'd like to make is to the eglibc configure commands
in all sections.
We do not need --enable-kernel=2.6.0
It makes it so that build can be ran when the host is using a 2.6.0
kernel.
That is way outdated and it increases the eglibc install size with
a huge
amount of compatability syscall support for all kernels to 2.6.0.
I suggest we use the minimum version for udev 182 to work properly.
In the UDEV-182
README it states that the required kernel is 2.6.34. I suggest we put
that for the --enable-kernel switch.
Users can still use a host running a 2.6.0 kernel (hah like that is a
fat chance), but they won't be able to chroot into the system as libc
will expect a kernel version of 2.6.34 or greater.
Users can do maintenance, however, but not chroot.
Here is the documentation for the --enable-kernel option if the
reader is unsure of its operation.
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Configuring-and-
compiling.html
Just to let you konw that is valid as eglibc pulls its tree from
glibc and then include their own patches.
Any thoughts from the community?
That would break users on /RHEL/CentOS/-{5,6}, on Ubuntu-10.04, on
Debian-6, so 2.6.34 should be a bit too aggressive.
2.6.32 is more balanced.
LFS elected 2.6.25 that match with previous (now retired) debian-5
kernel release.

I was bringing that up with Jonathan as well. 2.6.25 is still too
old. Users should be able to build their own kernels and update their
hosts or use newer host OS's.
Going through distrowatch this is what I get:
ARCH: 3.5.3 current 3.0.3 from 2011.
CentOS: People shouldn't use this as a host anyway, they are too out
of date! it's 2012 and they are still on 2 6.32 (maybe distrowatch
isn't updated for this distro)
Debian: squeeze (6.0) is still using 2.6.32, past taht it's 3.2
Gentoo: 2.6.37 since 11.0 release and they are in 3.x now
Redhat: Look at CentOS
Slackware: Good since 13.37 with a 2.6.37 kernel
Ubuntu: 2.6.38 since natty 11.04
I don't know... I really don't like the idea of 2.6.25. It's way old
as well.
I say at least 2.6.32 maybe like you mentioned.
Sincerely,
William Harrington
