[Bug libc/6652] New: --enable-oldest-abi breaks the build


Hi,

I used ftp://icadyptes.go-beyond.org/abs/core/base/glibc/PKGBUILD to build
2008-06-16's CVS Glibc. However, I tried adding variants of --enable-oldest-abi
and they would all fail with this message:
/usr/bin/ld: /home/pkgbuild/src/core/base/glibc/src/libc/glibc-build/libc.so:
version node not found for symbol getrlimit@GLIBC_2.0
/usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [/home/pkgbuild/src/core/base/glibc/src/libc/glibc-build/libc.so]
Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pkgbuild/src/core/base/glibc/src/libc'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have tried --enable-oldest-abi={GLIBC_2.0,2.2,2.3,GLIBC_2.3}, all to give the
same message in the middle of compiling. The flag seems to always break things
no matter what the input (without the flag it builds fine). I have not looked
into this much further, but have asked a few people about it, and I figured that
a bug report would be the best thing to do (I did not see any related bug
reports either).

I am using GCC 4.3.1, and the 2.6.26-rc6 kernel headers.

Thanks for such a great libc; I would just like to lighten it a little more by
removing compatibility with ancient libc versions. Let me know if I should give
anymore information.

Thanks,
Teran McKinney (sega01)

PS: It would be nice to select a version newer than 2.4 for reporting bugs.
