Indeed, that is an issue. However, there is nothing we can do in crosstool-NG as of now, due to the way crosstool-NG expects to get its sources. In the beginings, crosstool-NG was designed to build _production ready_ toolchains, so it meant using _releases_, not development snapshots. So use of a git/svn/whatever VCS was not provisioned. As eglibc is only distributed through the svn repository, a hack was made to shoehorn svn support in crosstool-NG. I consider this to be a hack for now. But I can see the point of also using development versions/snapshots for testign purposes. That's why I'd like to entirely review how crosstool-NG gets the sources. Alas, it's not that easy as it seems, if we want it to be done correctly. So, for the moment, the only way to use the long-term releases with crosstool-NG is to use git to prepare the tarballs, and put them where crosstool-NG can find them: git archive --prefix=linux-X.Y.Z vX.Y.Z |bzip2 >linux-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2 That's how I prepared some of the tarballs I use here...
