I followed my original plan and completed the glibc build
yesterday. It proved unexpectedly difficult. I had two segfaults,
the first time in configure and the second in make. I have never
seen those before. The third time it went to completion.
I've seen segfaults from "overdriving" a system with big packages
and too little RAM, especially with parallelism. Is it multicore?
You're dealing with a pretty "small" CPU, 13-25W TPD, and how much
RAM?
It seems there is after all some subtle incompatibility between
something in the toolkit and the Via Nano processor it is running
on. I suspect either glibc or one of the gcc libraries; I can't
imagine any other software being that sensitive to architecture.
Both happened in different places, but the third time was "a charm",
suggesting the process was OK, and it was a temporary H/W problem.
glibc tests showed 9 errors: the two expected ones on getaddr(4,5),
4 maths errors (also expected on a non-intel processor), csu/test-
multiarch (which also appeared in LFS7.8 so it seems to be expected
on a Via Nano) and 2 new ones: npH/tst-create-detached and
iconvdata/iconv-test. There were also two unexpected passes!
Not surprizing with an unusual CPU core design.
I'd still say it'd make sense to copy the one you made before
across, as there are more big packages to come. Can you make a new
partition on it, and give that a try? I used my i7 to build this
system for a Conroe.
Sorry, no more room on disk! I made 4 primary partitions (should have
made an extended one, shouldn't I!). I could rearrange everything using
fsarchiver or something but frankly, I don't fancy all the hard work.
Maybe one day...
No, you should have used GPT instead of the ancient MSDOS partition table.
Go buy a new hard disk. They are cheap.
