This patch definitely needs to be added. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/glibc/glibc-2.4-iconv_fix-1.patch
The openat patch really only applies if you're building glibc with --enable-kernel=2.6.17. (uses 2.6.0 currently.) So It doesn't need to be added, Just mentioning it for the people that may want to. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/glibc/glibc-2.4-openat-3.patch The 2 patches that are on the page now, glibc-2.3.6-linux_types-1.patch and glibc-2.3.6-inotify-1.patch can be dropped. Inotify is built in 2.4 and I built xorg-7.1 twice last night without the linux_types patch. It looks like there is a command to copy the inotify header to /usr/include/sys which can also be dropped. Other then the fact that I have no idea if there are any problems with libidn (I don't use it), that looks like about it. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
