Ok, let's start: I grabbed a RedHat 7.0 CD and installed a custom system with only the 'Kernel devel, Devel and Utilities' selected.
After a sucessfull install, I booted and installed the extra 'compat' rpms. As a note, one should use the RPM's stated in http://www.redhat.com/knowledgebase/glibccompat/building.html Ok, now I have the required tools to start working! My goal was to compile the newest pppd. A small app but still it was a good test as any... So, the RedHat documentation is a bit scarse for a non-guru such as myself :)... This is what I have done in order for it to work: export PATH=/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/bin:$PATH export CC=i386-glibc20-linux-gcc NOTE: the RedHat docs say 'PATH=/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/bin;$PATH' this is not correct!!! you should use ':' instead of ';' !!!! After these two exports, I just './configure' and 'make' and voliá! (that's French :) All done! Now, for another sanity check, I copied the binaries in two sets, one stripped, one normal and copied them to a floppy. Boot LEAF! (mine is a heavily modified ES2B) Mount floppy, shut down pppd, change the binaries for the new ones, get pppd back up, ping leaf.sf.net, modem wakes up dials to my provider, I have full access to the 'net with the new binaries! IT WORKED!!!!!!!! no seg faults :) :) :) :) I'm so happy I decided to let you know! p.s. I analised the Makefiles to make sure they did'n overwrite the above mentioned exports. p.s.2. Please make any comments back to the list please.
