glibc-2.3.4 test-installation.pl fails

[Markus Trenkwalder]

Hi list,

   for some time I'm now trying to compile glibc (2.3.3 first, and 2.3.4
now) with gcc-3.4.3. I'm part of a small group which is building a home
brewn "linux". Till now we have a perfectly running system using
glibc-2.3.2, gcc-3.3.3 and binutils-2.14.

To make the new glibc compile I built a static version of coreutils and
make. I built gcc-3.4.3 (not static) and than built glibc as follows:
-----------------------------------------
./configure \
     --prefix=/usr \
     --with-elf \
     --enable-shared \
     --enable-omitfp \
     --disable-profile \
     --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads \
     --with-gnu-binutils \
     --with-gnu-ld \
     --with-gnu-as \
     --exec-prefix=/usr \
     --includedir=/usr/include \
     --oldincludedir=/usr/include \
     --localstatedir=/var \
     --sysconfdir=/etc \
     --with-headers=/usr/src/linux/include \
     --libdir=/lib \
     --without-__thread
make
-----------------------------------------

The build succeeds but the installation fails at the
test-installation.pl script. The libs that should be linked to the 
executable (such as libBrokenLocale.so.1) do not appear in the ldd 
output for that executable:
------------------------------------------
$ cat > /tmp/xxx.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void) {
   printf ("Your new glibc installation seems to be ok.\n");
   exit (0);
}
$ gcc /tmp/xxx.c -lBrokenLocale -o /tmp/xxx
$ /tmp/xxx
Your new glibc installation seems to be ok.
$ ldd /tmp/xxx
         linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001e000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
------------------------------------------

Searching the Web I found that there may be some problems with the 
linker, but since all the builds did succeed I do not know, what I did 
wrong.

I hope, someone can help me. But if this is the wrong list, sorry for 
the annoyance.

Markus
