Re: Final linking failed (ld.so) on alpha for 20030803 it require`__GI___pwrite64'

[Finn Thain <ft01 at webmastery dot com dot au>]

It may be some small comfort to know that you are not alone! I am having
the same problem linking ld.so, as are these people:

  http://www.linux.cz/lists/archive/linux/183787-full.html
  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-glibc/2003-07/msg00034.html

None of these posts has received any replies, so I guess it is still
unsolved. I initially blamed my cross tool-chain and rebuilt it numerous
times, with different releases and configure options etc, but I always end
up here. I have now successfully built glibc for powerpc using the
--disable-shared configure option, so I guess this toolchain can't be
completely broken.

When I build powerpc shared libraries, like your build, and those in the
posts above, my build fails with

I am at a loss. If anyone can help with some pointers as to what might be
going wrong here, I would be very grateful. I have spent way too much time
getting pretty much nowhere. I did manage to determine where these symbols
are actually defined, in case it helps,

I can't build shared glibc for the alpha architecture due to the same
ld.so link problem (a couple of undefined references are different, but
they are still csu and io symbols).

Here is some info on the tools I'm using,

The kernel headers are from version 2.4.21.
