error while building Glibc-2.11.1 for Linux From Scratch


I am trying to configure glibc-2.11.1 using gcc-4.6.1 for kernel 3.16. I am following steps given at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Configuring-and-compiling.html when i am doing make after compiling some file it is giving

Why is it so ? How I can rectify this error? Please help me. Thanks in advance


Solution

  • Why is it so ?

    The file crti.S that is failing to build is generated by compiling csu/initfini.c, and then splitting the resulting initfini.s on "magic markers".

    Unfortunately, this splitting is extremely dependent on the version of gcc that is used to generate initfini.s, and doesn't always work.

    This entire mechanism has been eliminated in Feb 2012.

    Your options are:

    • build a newer version of glibc (current is 2.19), or
    • build using older version of GCC (Google search shows many instances of gcc-4.6 causing this problem).
