Re: PATCH: glibc port to solaris2

Thanks Ed!

i will take a close look at your work. Please don't get impatient;
it will take some time for sure.

It may sound boring to you; but would it would be really helpful
if you tell the community about the configure-parameters you use, 
as well as the prerequisites, like
	SHELL bash ? which version?
	gcc;         if that, which version?
                     have you used Jakubs patches when building gcc?
	binutils;    if that, which version?
	gettext;     if so, which version?
        ...

last not least which machinetype are you using to build glibc,
simply all of those things you feel worth to mention.


Concerning the segfault you mention with ./ld.so,  on one side i am little 
bit confused, because i have never noticed this command containg parameters 
involving `./rpcgen' , when i have made builds of glibc (CVS i use).

Aside this i kindly ask you to look if your build contains a hint, that
the file
	./sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/dl-machine.h
is involved while building ld.so, to be exact, in the compilation of the 
objectfile elf/rtld.os.
Please tell me, if the file ./elf/rtld.d (which should be left after
your build ) contains the string "../sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/dl-machine.h"

It's because i have the feeling, that the segfault you mention is caused 
by some Linux-specific assumptions in the startup-code of dl-machine.h, 
which simply cannot work under Solaris.

I would offer you another patch to check out, if you notice this string too.

thanks again
