I have modified crosstool to support GLIBCPORTS_FILENAME and am testing it as I write. If it seems to work on the 3 variants I'm trying (glibc-2.3.6, glibc-2.3-200* snapshot and glibc-2.4) I'll post the patches. THis also lets you use glibc-2.3 snapshots, which require the ports adding. > > * making GLIBC_THREADS_FILENAME optional, and if it's missing, > > we don't try to unpack it At present the scripts add the corresponding version if it's missing. I am afraid to change this 'cos I don't want to risk breaking other builds that I can't test. However, that makes sense to me: embedding such knowledge in the .dat files, not inside crosstool's scripts. > > * requiring GLIBC_PORTS_FILENAME to be set if we want the ports > > addon loaded Yep, that's the one! Actually, you *have* to do it like that 'cos both getandpatch.sh and crosstool.sh need to see it, so it had to come down from above. I tried autoadding it if glibc >=2.4, but that would happen inside getandpatch.sh, which means the variable does not propagate to crosstool.sh where the knowledge is needed > > It's tempting to look at regularizing how glibc addons are handled in crosstool, There only seem to be 3: old crypt, ports and threads. > what are the chances of getting a high-level overview of the > consequences of dropping linuxthreads from glibc-2.4? Linuxthreads addon is redundant if glibc >= 2.4 since thread support is included inside glibc now. M -- For unsubscribe information see http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq
