Hello
I'm upgrading from Glibc 2.1.3 to Glibc 2.2.1 on an ARM4
architecture.
Glibc 2.1.3 was cross compiled x86-linux -> arm4-linux with
--prefix=/usr/local
After having binutils-2.10.1.0.4 and gcc-2.95.2 in a
native ARM version, i configure Glibc 2.2.1 with
--prefix=/usr so it will go to the right place
for a primary C-library (at least i hope so).
The process of configuring, compiling and install
went flawless, with the exception of one point.
The "force-install" target in the Makerules file uses
a "rm -f; ln -s" pair to remove and install
(besides other files) the dynamic linker ld-linux.so.2
in the /lib directory.
This will to work if people (like me) have a dynamically
linked version of ln. Should not "sln" or
"mv -f" be used instead?
Is this a bug or am i doing something totally wrong.
TIA
Dave
