| 8 | <para>The programs from a statically linked Fileutils package may cause
|
|---|
| 9 | segmentation faults on certain systems, if your distribution has
|
|---|
| 10 | Glibc-2.2.3 or higher installed. It seems to happen mostly on machines
|
|---|
| 11 | powered by an AMD CPU, but there is a case or two where an Intel system
|
|---|
| 12 | is affected as well. If your system falls in this category, apply the
|
|---|
| 13 | patch.</para>

|
|---|
| 15 | <para>Note that in some cases using this patch will result in not being
|
|---|
| 16 | able to compile this package at all, even when your system has an AMD CPU
|
|---|
| 17 | and has Glibc-2.2.3 (or higher) installed. If that's the case, you'll need
|
|---|
| 18 | to remove the fileutils-&fileutils-version; directory and unpack it again
|
|---|
| 19 | from the tarball before continuing. We believe this may be the case when
|
|---|
| 20 | your distribution has altered Glibc-2.2.3 somehow, but details are
|
|---|
| 21 | unavailable at the time.</para>

| 23 | <para>To fix this package to compile properly on AMD/Glibc-2.2.3
|
|---|
| 24 | machines, run the following command. Do <emphasis>not</emphasis>
|
|---|
| 25 | attempt this fix if you don't have Glibc-2.2.3 installed. It will more
|
|---|
| 26 | than likely result in all kinds of compile time problems.</para>

| 36 | <para>Once you have installed Fileutils, you can test whether the
|
|---|
| 37 | segmentation fault problem has been avoided by running
|
|---|
| 38 | <userinput>$LFS/static/bin/ls</userinput>. If this works, then you are OK. If
|
|---|
| 39 | not, then you need to re-do the installation using the sed commands if
|
|---|
| 40 | you didn't use them, or without the sed commands if you did use
|
|---|
| 41 | them.</para>
