Why I can't compile glibc from sources in a Debian system ?
I don't know, I compile glibc from sources on Debian systems all the
time, both with and without patches.
When I've done it and my system become inusable someone told me that I
_must_ apply the
Debian patch to the original sources.
None of the patches applied to the source are required for a functional libc.
I'll be happy if someone could explain me ( with few words ), why the patch
is needed.
Patches applied in the Debian version of the GNU C Library:
localedata-zh_TW.Big5:
zh_TW.Big5 locale definition
localedata-eo_EO:
locale definition for Esperanto
localedata-charmap-BIG5_1984:
BIG5_1984 character map
localedata-SUPPORTED:
Extra locales for localedata/SUPPORTED file.
ldd:

Hack around non-executable file shrodinbug.
