When it gets to the make install I see this error: Can't open configuration file /usr/local/arm-linux/etc/ld.so.conf: No such file or directory make[1]: Leaving directory I was able to fix this by doing the following: mkdir -p /usr/local/arm-linux/etc touch /usr/local/arm-linux/etc/ld.so.conf Then running configure, make, make install. As a suggestion, in the configure script, if the prefix is passed in that a check is performed for a ld.so.conf; if there is not then touch it. If there is anything else I can provide, let me know.
do you mean something like: test ! -x /home/aj/build/glibc/testing/elf/ldconfig || LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=C \ /home/aj/build/glibc/testing/elf/ldconfig -r /tmp/test-glibc-install \ /lib64 /usr/lib64 /home/aj/build/glibc/testing/elf/ldconfig: Can't open configuration file /tmp/test-glibc-install/etc/ld.so.conf: No such file or directory make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/aj/cvs/glibc' This is not a problem at all, ldconfig just returns since no config is available. You can ignore this.
I've changed the message now to: Warning: ignoring configuration file that cannot be opened: Commit to git. 2012-05-09 Andreas Jaeger <aj@suse.de> [BZ #13983] * elf/ldconfig.c (parse_conf): Change string to make clear that ldconfig only issued a warning if ld.so.conf does not exist.
