atexit problems with egcs...

["Dan A. Dickey" <ddickey@wamnet.com>]

Hi,
I've run into a problem with the definition of atexit.
I recently compiled egcs-1.0.2 on a Redhat 5.0 system,
which had libc-5.4.44 and glibc-2.0.7-5 on it.  No problems
(except that I didn't do 'make bootstrap').  I installed
egcs into /usr/local.
Then, I compiled and installed glibc-2.0.92 into /usr/local.

Now, I'm trying to rebuild egcs (doing a 'make bootstrap')
with itself (/usr/local/bin/gcc).  HOWEVER, the definition
of atexit in /usr/local/include/stdlib.h (from glibc-2.0.92)
does not agree with that in the egcs distribution
(.../gcc/gbl-ctors.h).  So, the make bootstrap fails building
libgcc2.a due to a conflicting type error.

Has anyone else run into this?  What's the quick fix?
What's the correct fix?

It's times like this that I wish Makefiles were written
with a 'make uninstall' capability (so I could uninstall
glibc2 from /usr/local).

Any and all help appreciated!  Thanks.    -Dan
P.S. - I'm writing here first because I knew the libc-alpha@cygnus.com
address.  And I am aware that the problem may be with egcs.
And I'm also aware that many people here are on both lists.
(So this should be a good first scream for help. :) )
