Re: egcs-1.0.3a: xgcc-Internal compiler error on Linux 2.0.33 (SUSE 5.2, Intel): FIXED

[Marcel Ruff <ruff at swand dot lake dot de>]

OK, problem fixed.

Thanks for your help, Andreas, Jeffrey!

Solution summary:
--------------

The problem was that glibc2 wasn't installed properly on my SUSE Linux box!
After following http://www.imaxx.net/~thrytis/glibc
(compiling and installing glibc-2.0.6)
i could compile egcs without problems!

(I often wondered how i can change properly to glibc2, now its done!)

Hi Marcel,

you write:
> i had already installed glibc (copied from RedHat):/lib:             libc.so.6 ->
> libc-2.0.6.so
> /usr/lib:      libc.so -> libc.so.6

Which is totally wrong.  I'm appending a question from the glibc FAQ.
I fear you system isn't installed correctly.  Please read the glibc
FAQ which comes with glibc and the glibc HowTo
<http://www.imaxx.net/~thrytis/glibc>.

After fixing your glibc2 installation and verififying that it works
correctly, you can start building egcs again.

2.7.    Looking through the shared libc file I haven't found the
        functions `stat', `lstat', `fstat', and `mknod' and while
        linking on my Linux system I get error messages.  How is
        this supposed to work?

{RM} Believe it or not, stat and lstat (and fstat, and mknod)
are supposed to be undefined references in libc.so.6!  Your problem is
probably a missing or incorrect /usr/lib/libc.so file; note that this
is a small text file now, not a symlink to libc.so.6.  It should look
something like this:

GROUP ( libc.so.6 libc_nonshared.a )
