mips gnu toolchain with glibc_2.13

I am trying to load few modules onto Tizen on my MIPS-based platform. Currently, I am using sourcery codebench gnu linux compiler. The libc.so files it uses have version 2.17 which libc.so file on my platform has version 2.13. I need a toolchain which has a version less than or equal to 2.13 and supports MIPS.

Thanks, Atchyut Sreekar

Solution

  • few options:

    1. talk to the Tizen people to see if they have pre-compiled toolchains that match your system
    2. build the code directly on the device
    3. use crosstool-ng to build a new cross-compiler but with an old glibc version
    4. upgrade your system because glibc-2.13 (and glibc-2.17 for that matter) are ridiculously old and have a large number of known security vulnerabilities including remote exploits. developing & deploying anything based on those glibc versions is a terrible terrible mistake.
