>Description:
I've been trying to build MySQL on my IPX for several weeks, but have been unsuccesful. When running the configure program for MySQL it will hang while it tests for restartable system calls. This program is normally linked against -lpthreads, but when it is not linked against -lpthread it runs okay. Here is sample output from gdb of where this program hangs:

This doesn't happen on ix86 with glibc 2.1.2. Since you're using an
older glibc, I advise to first try the latest released sources: 2.1.2.
I don't know if any of the glibc developers has a IPX. If the problem
persists with 2.1.2, you might need to debug this yourself.
Please inform me, whether 2.1.2 works for you.

Actually I did try that, with the same results.

Affraid I'm not a C programmer. Sun IPX systems can be had very
inexpensively though. This site has them for $65:
http://www.workstation.net/
I could also provide someone a login on my IPX.
