Re: stackable abilist files

with ia64 being removed from the main tree, and it tweaking the abilist files
in the past (due to it having diff symbol versioning bases), i obviously need

via vpath (or i can't make it work).  i tried the obvious
ports/sysdeps/ia64/abilist/xxx.abilist, but that didn't work.  so i brute
forced it and created an xxx.abilist file in every dir, as well as
abilist/xxx.abilist, but still no go -- only the toplevel abilist/xxx.abilist
files were used.

although, for some of these (like libc.abilist), it's hard to say that forcing
an arch to copy the entire file is a good thing considering 99% of the over
2000 lines in there are going to be duplicate.  maybe it'd be better to let
these particular files hold all target tuples whether they be in ports/ or the
main tree ?

side note, seems like $(config-tls) is hardcoded to "thread" now, so the /tls
and /notls configs were dropped from the abilist.  i see a "threads" entry, but
i suspect it's a typo.  anybody confirm ?

Mike,


see bug 13986 and the comments there as well:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13986

abilist does not work at all right now with ports.

Btw. in the discussion regarding "what is glibc-ports", one proposal was merging ports back - and if that's the road we take, we could also add ia64 back in the normal space...
