glibc change that effects other architectures...

[Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>]

I am about ready to release a new glibc. One of the major changes to the
rules file has impact on other architectures that I can not evaluate.

The change is the additional code to the rules file which rebuilds the
links in /usr/lib as absolute references rather than the relative links
provided by the upstream make. I include the code below so that those of
you who are maintaining glibc on other architectures can get patches to me
if this isn't quite right for your architecture. I have included
"surrounding" lines so it is clear where in the binary-dev target the new
code is to be found.

Let me know how this works for you...

	rm -f debian/tmp/usr/lib/lib*_p.a
        strip -g debian/tmp/usr/lib/*.{o,a}
        cp -a debian/hold/usr/lib/lib*.so debian/tmp/usr/lib
        v=2.0.7; \
        pv=0.7; \
        cd debian/tmp/usr/lib ; \
        for f in *.so ; do \
            if [ $$f != libc.so -a $$f != libndbm.so ]; then \
                rm $$f ; \
            if [ $$f != libpthread.so ]; then \
                ln -s /lib/$$(basename $$f .so)-$$v.so $$f ; \
            else  \
                ln -s /lib/$$(basename $$f .so)-$$pv.so $$f ; \
            fi \
            fi \
        done
        cp -a debian/hold/usr/include/* debian/tmp/usr/include

Waiting is,

Dwarf
