Hi,I have trying to rebuild an old embeded linux system using glibc-2.11.1. I
cannot build thiis library as the configure script does not recoognise the
architecture supplied by configure,guess as arm7l (see below). This is probably
what Debian calls armel (32 bit soft float) but the compiler confirms 32bit
armhf (Hard Float)All I need is a work around to build the libary but I thought
I would report that newer Arm processors are not recognisedI cannot use the
CFLAGS to force the -mcpu or -march as the configure script does not finish
preventing make.I have had no problem building OpenSSL 1.0.0 and
wpa_supplicant-0.7.3 on a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) with default settings.Thanks in
advanceRob Hookham The configure.guess script had the timestamp='2008-01-23' so
1 guess it is not updated oftenInformation requested in
