Ken, Joe, glibc on the target system is 2.1.3. It's (libc's) version herald states linuxthreads-0.8. I do have rpm packages for binutils, glib, and gcc of the versions used to build the target system, so my next effort is to attempt to build a cross compiler environment of those packages. I will use either RH 7.2 or a slightly later version of RH to try to build, and I will use as much of the clfs procedure as possible. Thanks again, Anthony Drake

Yeah, this is the --enable-kernel=2.6.0 in the book. One reason for using that is that we moved to nptl instead of linux-threads. You cannot run any current clfs under a 2.4 kernel. As to what version of glibc can run under a 2.4 kernel, I've no idea. Sorry I didn't spot that showstopper earlier. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce _______________________________________________ Clfs-support mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/listinfo.cgi/clfs-support-cross-lfs.org
