Okay, I have just gone through and installed Xorg 7.1 on my gcc-4.1.1 system. (temporarily back to non-ssp given the current problems with libssp)
First of fall, I have a serious problem/regression? with glx.so under this system. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to go about solving this, so I am asking for suggestions on what approaches to take to find and resolve this issue as well as any ideas you people might have. PROBLEM: when I type startx Xorg, the computer freezes. I traced the problem to libglx.so under lib/X11/extensions. The Xorg log file shows that the last long entry was loading of the glx.so. The monitor blanks and the machine locks so I have to do a hard-reboot to get back. I renamed the libglx.so to libglx.so.was to prevent it from being found and xorg starts without crashins...just not direct rendering possible.. I tried GDB, but GDB gets caught up in the lock as well and helps not at all. OTHER XORG RELATED NOTES: While going through every single config file in the xorg project I found a couple of relevant options: --enable-malloc0returnsnull (and thus: --disable-malloc0returnsnull) This seems to be a way to stop using the malloc returns null glibc compatibility in uClibc. Finally, we might be able to safely remove that support. This may be found in the following Xorg-modular projects: libAppleWM libdmx libFS liboldX libWindowsWM libX11 libXext libXfontcache libXinerama libXp libXrandr libXrender libXres libXScrnSaver libXt libXTrap libXv libXvMC libXxf86dga libXxf86misc libXxf86vm There is also a --disable-secure-rpc that we can use until uClibc comes out with full secure rpc support.
