[gentoo-user] Cannot compile anything: libc.so: file format not recognized; treating as linker script - glibc 2.4 upgrade related?
Hello! On one machine, I upgraded to glibc 2.4, and since that time, I cannot compile anything anymore :( I always get errors like this: checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. In the config.log, I find: configure:2398: checking for C compiler default output file name configure:2401: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -Wl,-z,now conftest.c >&5 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../libc.so: file format not recognized; treating as linker script /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../libc.so:5: syntax error collect2: ld returned 1 exit status That's "somewhat" annoying... :( Any ideas how I can fix this issue?

Thanks, Alexander Skwar Hello. Try editing your make.conf to use CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -02 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" instead of '-march=prescott' -- Thomas Andrè Skarsvåg -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
