by I'm wondering if there was not some sort of error made
when the gcc binary distributions at tsx-11 were built... I'll
admit I haven't had a chance to give glibc adequate attention.
There are supposedly two binary distributions : gcc and gcc-glibc.
I would have expected the gcc binary to contain gcc binaries which run
with glibc and compile libc5 ELF binaries. I would expect the
gcc-glibc tar to contain a gcc designed for glibc in some way, maybe
the executables require glibc and/or is capable of building glibc
binaries.
What I found was that the gcc-glibc binary tar contained
/usr/lib/i586-unknown-linux and binaries that run with libc5 only.
The gcc binary tar (non-glibc) contained /usr/lib/i586-unknown-linux-glibc1
and binaries that cannot be executed by my libc5/ld.so 1.8.x system.
Am I messed up or is something backwards here? I believe I had to
install both tar to get things behaving, being careful to install the
libc5 binary last.
I also noticed that it's glibc1, not glibc2. Am I wasting
my time with this completely? Is there another gcc distribution (binary)
out there that I can trust to be squeaky clean for libc5 systems?
(2.7.2.3)
Thanks for your time.
