Hi, I am running into a problem with Python 2.6 and SuSe 11 SP1. The error 
message looks just like this one:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556584

That link implies the fix is to upgrade to > glibc-2.11.90.  But for this 
particular hardware, it would be difficult to upgrade the core operating 
system's glibc as novell hasn't blessed a version of glibc > 2.11.1.  Also, 
using an upgraded dynamic/shared version of glibc seems to produce 
incompatibilities with core operating systems commands.

So, is it possible to build python against a static version of glibc?  I've 
tried installing a static glibc 2.12 on a different machine, then configuring 
python with 'configure -disable-shared 
--with-libc=/usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a'.  python builds but an ldd still seems 
to think the resulting executable depends on libc.so.6.

I've tried google but found nothing concrete.

Any other suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Ben
