Hi,
I'm compiling glibc (2.8-20080929) for playstation3 (PowerPC 64bits).
Building was ok but when I ran the test suite, there was only one
failure, concerning posix_fallocate :
"file size after first posix_fallocate call is 0, expected 1280"
It seems the function does nothing at all although do not send any error
code. I checked fstat64 function work correctly on another file, so the
problem comes from posix_fallocate.
Here are the build details:
configure command :
../glibc-2.8-20080929/configure --prefix=/usr --disable-profile
--enable-add-ons --enable-kernel=2.6.0 --libexecdir=/usr/lib/glibc
uname -a :
Linux localhost 2.6.23-ps3 #1 SMP Wed Dec 19 20:37:25 UTC 2007 ppc64
Cell Broadband Engine, altivec supported GNU/Linux
gcc version : 4.3.2
Don't know if this could be a serious issue for my upcoming system
(don't know if this function is heavily used).
Any help appreciated,
Renaud
