he test result files except for a few are 0 bytes. I notice that all of the tests seem to use the newly built ELF loader, and the apps are all generated using the newly built libc. Doesn't that mean that make check shouldn't run? I still have all the build logs, and test logs, etc if you

Libc optimization patch

2001-12-01 Thread Jeff Bailey
This is the same problem that I had reported earlier in the sysdeps tree. The reason I hadn't seen it here is because the result of the #error shows up but it doesn't actually halt compilation. If you can apply these too, it would be great. 2001-12-01 Jeff Bailey <[EM

I've been exploring a few thoughts on the whole glibc thing. And made a few observations. Framestate (in sysdeps/generic) calls size_of_encoded_value and read_encoded_value_with_base. Those functions are only defined in glibc if unwind-pe.h is linked in with NO_BASE_OF_ENCODED_VALUE defined. N
