Looking for glibc patch and/or kernel
I've recently bought an ARM-based Netwinder DM, and very nice it is too.
It is running a statically-linked 2.5.0-rmk1 kernel, which does not have
all the features I need enabled, so I need to build or download one which
does. I can't build 2.5.0-rmk1 because of the glibc bug with the "clobber"
list. Philip Blundell put a patch for that into glibc back in March, but
it was just a few days too late for the 2.3.2 release, and there hasn't
been another release since then. Building glibc does not look like a task
for a newbie with a 32MB Netwinder, so I wondered if anyone had a patched
build available?
I also tried installing a binary image that I found at Debian
(the machine's running Debian unstable), but it failed with the
errors below.
