linux expert needed..compile new glibc....

[gwu]

I am trying to upgrade to a newer version of glibc. I know its a pain but this is the only option. can anyone tell me whats going on? I am not using a mainstream distro so there is no package managers like rpm. Glibc has to be compiled from source.

Current specs: linux 2.4.18, glibc 2.3.1, gcc 3.2, binutils 2.13

I have downloaded the sources: glibc-2.3.2.tar.gz glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.2.tar.gz and used "configure --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads --prefix=/usr". Configure works with no error but "make" does:

If this is on redhat I might suggest up2date, it will go alot smoother.

Here's a patch that should fix it...

thanks again
