Re: Toolchain TLS support



Hi Carlos!

Carlos O'Donell a écrit :
Aurelian,

If you have any problems with hppa or need any help, please feel free
to email me directly or CC me on any problems. I'm the hppa libc-ports
maintainer, and I am actively working on TLS + NPTL support for hppa.
I am happy with TLS + Linuxthreads on hppa, but NPTL still has serious
bugs.


Thanks for the information.

We currently have a version Linuxthreads without TLS support in experimental [1], because the binutils in Debian currently does not support TLS on hppa.

For now I have concentrated my efforts on getting a glibc with NPTL on hppa, as our goal is to switch to NPTL for all Linux architectures. It builds correctly but I haven't tested it a lot, only with a few programs (I have only installed it in a chroot, not on my main system). I am currently building a clean Debian package, it should be available in a few hours [2].

What are exactly the "serious bugs" currently with the NPTL version?

Given the bugs on the NPTL version, I will then try to build a TLS + Linuxthreads version.

Bye,
Aurelien
