| 152 | To run the tests for this package, valgrind requires a version of the
|
---|
| 153 | /lib/ld-2.23.so (or later) library with debugging symbols present.
|
---|
| 154 | Normally in LFS these debugging symbols are stripped at the end of
|
---|
| 155 | Chapter 6. To get this library, glibc must be rebuilt with the current
|
---|
| 156 | glibc version using the same compiler that was used to build LFS. The
|
---|
| 157 | ld-2.23.so can then be renamed to ld-2.23.so.dbg and copied to /lib. Then
|
---|
| 158 | a symlink needs to be changed:
