Jim, do you know of any issues with inetutils' `ping' on your
multi-arch/cross-lfs builds? I think I remember you mentioning a BUS
ERROR you were getting on a Sparc box. Did you get that sorted?
The author(inetutils) had no clue, he thinks it's a glibc error. But I
had the same problem with udev and they had to add some padding to the
variable to fix it.
Yep, and I got a similar problem at work not so long ago! the BUS ERROR
in that case was caused by free()ing an invalid pointer...no, I know I'm
not too good at C! I'd imagine it's a similar problem in inetutils.
It's just a matter of tracking it down. I can't remember, but did you
manage to get a `gdb' backtrace of it?
Regardless, I think there may well be some merit in getting iputils to
compile on an LFS setup, given Bruce's argument of a better/more
complete feature set. I may be in a position to do that later today,
but of course, everyone else is more than welcome to give it a go
themselves!
Regards,
Matt.
