Glibc-2.11.2

[Matthew Burgess]

New version. Release announcement at ​http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-announce/2010/msg00001.html.

[Matthew Burgess]

This one missed today's build too, should have an update in a couple of days.

[Gilles Espinasse]

my tree is a bit different than LFS (gcc-4.4.4) I have a failure in make-3.81 tests that I think is caused by glibc-2.11.2 upgrade. I have to confirm that point.

The test failure is

features/recursion ...................................... Error running /usr/src/make-3.81/tests/../make (expected 0; got 512): /usr/src/make-3.81/tests/../make -f work/features/recursion.mk CFLAGS=-O -w-j 2

I can now confirm that reverting glibc to 2.11.1, all make-3.81 tests are ok. Only glibc version was changed.

[Gilles Espinasse]

There is a fix for make test on make mailing list.

​http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2010-05/msg00022.html

This affect too glibc-2.12. The reason is in handling -w-j 2 in CFLAGS and a space before -j solve that.

[Matthew Burgess]

Fixed in r9292.
