Description booleandomain 2009-07-07 19:16:55 UTC 
I cannot compile glibc-2.10.1 with gcc-4.3.3. Make fails with the following
error message:

Glibc was configured as follows: --prefix=/tools --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --with-headers=/tools/include --enable-kernel=2.6.30

The only way I know to fix this is to add -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE to the CFLAGS.

This looks like http://gcc.gnu.org/PR46596.
Comment 3 Carlos O'Donell 2012-02-29 13:58:10 UTC 
I can confirm this. My build scripts all have -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE in CFLAGS. I'll have a look at fixing this.

Comment 5 Andrew Johnson 2012-04-24 20:17:59 UTC 
Confirmed here as well.
Comment 6 Roland McGrath 2012-05-07 21:42:01 UTC 
Note compilers (like Debian/Ubuntu) that predefine _FORTIFY_SOURCE also implicitly set -fstack-protector, which I think is also a problem for building libc.

To avoid confusion: Debian gcc does not predefine _FORTIFY_SOURCE or
implicitly set -fstack-protector.  Ubuntu gcc does, though.

Fixed in trunk.
