I'm actually building the system straight from a command line on an 'empty' machine. I fully understand that I'm building on an older machine, but didn't have this problem when building 6.1.1
What host are you using? You say this is an empty machine, so does that mean you're using the LiveCD? This is extremely important when you're running the Glibc test suite. It's very much tied to the running system. What version of LInux are you running?
First three errors are the same as with my 6.1.1 build and can be ignored: make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/posix/bug-regex24.out] Error 1 make[2]: " " " /tst-regex2.out] error 1 make[2]: " " " /Error 1 (ignored) then it starts with: make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-mutex8.out] Error 1 ... three more pages of errors in this directory nptl and it ends with: ... make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-fini1.out] Error 134 make[2]: *** [/ " " " /tst-execstack.out] Error 1 make1]: [nptl/tests] Error 2
If there's three pages of NPTL errors, then that's a problem.
make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/rt/tst-mqueue8.out] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/rt/tst-mqueue8x.out] Error 127 make[1]: [rt/tests] error 2 make: *** [check] Error 2
Looking back at your first mail, you said the system was "PII, 350MHz, 96Mb". The processor seems OK. At least you shouldn't be running into problems with i[3456]86. 96 Mb is tough. If you already built LFS-6.1.1, you probably know that you're gonna have to open up a lot of swap space. That many errors in Glibc would usually signal to me that something has gone wrong. But maybe you can run the tests again to see if you get similar results. I would suggest shutting down any non-essential services while the tests are running. I've noticed on both machines I build on that the tests are much more likely to pass on an idle box. So, go get a cup of coffee (or in your case, a pot of coffee) and let the Glibc tests have the run of your machine. Resist the temptation to do things that spike your processor. If you run them again and NPTL is still hemorraghing badly, then you might want to start over or dig further into the specific failures. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
