Hi
First, I know this maybe isn't the place I should ask, If so, I'm sorry
but the IRC #hlfs channel doesn't seem to be a crowdy place and I can't
find another place to post this to.
I'm running a HLFS svn from 12.04.05
The system is great and I like a lot about it..
Lately I tought about some upgrades, and so I've been trying to compile
Xorg 6.8.99.901 (the closest I found to 7.0 and still in one piece ;)
but the make fails with:
gcc -m32 -o xdm -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -fno-strict-aliasing -ansi
-Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations

As much as the google tell's me, it's something with the glibc
installation, and as I remember deleting (according to the book) some
*.a files, I thought It was maybe one of them.
So the question is, which file to link in place, as I figure there has
to be some replacement of the functions within this lib in another one,
that hasn't been deleted.. and If not, is there a way to restore that
library from a new glibc compilation, that will be the least painfull?
(I'm thinking other than recompiling the whole toolchain again ;)
OR maybe there's a way to disable xdm? (dont's use it anyway)..

Hit the same problem this week with CLFS multilib (the glibc snapshot
we are using there doesn't create librpcsvc for -m32, only for -m64
when building for x86_64). You can get around it with
sed -i 's/xdm//' programs/Imakefile
- initial indications are that kdm might be disabled as a result of
this (one of the kde packages looks for xdm, nothing else, including
gdm, showed in my old logs). X seemed to work ok without xdm, although
the Imakefile suggests it isn't optional. Of course, I'm not building a
full 32-bit desktop, so perhaps some functionality might be lost.
Of course, when HLFS moves to the X 6.9.0 you guys might want to
rethink deleting librpcsvc.a.
