glibc 2.3.3-27 _Unwind_Resume

["Praveen Srinivasan" <spraveen at ittc dot ku dot edu>]

Hello everyone,

I needed a secondary test version of glibc on my system (Fedora Core 2).
The primary glibc version is 2.3.3-27.

So I downloaded glibc-2.3.3-27.src.rpm and built it using gcc version
3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7) with the following configure
options

../libc/configure
--prefix=/home/praveen/finalproj/newworking/myglibc/binaries
--disable-profile --enable-add-ons=nptl --with-tls

in a separate build directory.

The build was successful.

I later created a new gcc specs file that links the secondary glibc
libraries. When I tried to compile a helloworld program using the new
specs file, I got the following errors

gcc -specs=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.3/myspecs -c helloworld.c
gcc -specs=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.3/myspecs helloworld.o

The linker complains undefined reference to __gcc_personality_v0,
_Unwind_Resume. I chekced up the primary libc.a and it doesnt have these
two symbols.

I also compared other symbols in both libc.a files and I was surprised
that I was not able to find any nptl related symbols in primary libc.a.
Till now I assumed Fedora Core 2 glibc comes with NPTL add-on. Anyway, I
need NPTL as an add-on rather than linuxthreads in my secondary glibc. Can
anyone please throw some light on what could be wrong? Am I missing any
important configure option.

If this is not the right mailing list to post this message, please give
some pointers on where I should post this question.

Thanks in advance
