|
---|
8 | bug with the atexit() function in glibc-2.2.3 when it is compiled with
|
---|
9 | gcc-2.95.3. This bug only occurs on some systems (primarily AMD, but not
|
---|
10 | exclusively). This bug causes segmentation faults in fileutils-4.1 when it
|
---|
11 | is compiled statically. This patch causes on_exit() to be called instead of
|
---|
12 | atexit().</para>

13 |
|
---|
14 | <para>Note that in some cases using this patch will result in not being
|
---|
15 | able to compile this package at all, even when your system has an AMD CPU
|
---|
16 | and has Glibc-2.2.3 (or higher) installed. If that's the case, you'll need
|
---|
17 | to remove the fileutils-&fileutils-version; directory and unpack it again
|
---|
18 | from the tarball before continuing. We believe this may be the case when
|
---|
19 | your distribution has altered Glibc-2.2.3 somehow, but the exact details
|
---|
20 | are unknown.</para>
|

21 |
|

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

42 | <para>Once you have installed Fileutils, you can test whether the

43 | segmentation fault problem has been avoided by running

44 | <userinput>$LFS/static/bin/ls</userinput>. If this works, then you are OK. If
|
---|
45 | not, then you need to re-do the installation with the patch if you didn't
|
---|
46 | use it, or without the patch if you did use it.</para>
