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
Gert
