version-check.sh for glibc on Debian/Ubuntu

2010-02-22 Thread Grant Bowman
Hello all. Thanks for all your work on LFS. Below are two alternative patches for version-check.sh in LFS 6.6rc2. I needed something because the glibc version was cut off on both a Debian testing/squeeze netinst machine with glibc 2.10.2 and Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic machine with glibc 2.10.1. 6.6rc2

Hi, http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/readline-6.1-patches/readline61-002 fixes an issue whereby the version numbers didn't get bumped in readline.h. I've done some quick greps on the source but I can't find where this is actually used (aside from it simply being set). Any ideas whether anything

Checking for broken configure tests, searches for libc functions, etc

2010-02-22 Thread Robert Connolly
There is a persistant problem with failing autoconf tests, and since these can often be quietly replaced by gnu-lib we often don't realize it. These failed ./configure tests are sometimes from new Glibc versions, -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE causing functions to be defined as macros and screwing up tests,
