Hi Anton, thanks for your answer.
But, what are the fixes needed? Or just recompile a new glibc version?
(I don't think so, but... who knows).
I followed the usual procedure for that:
- Install any Linux
- Download base_x.tgz
- (cd /target && tar zxvf base_x.tgz)
- chroot /target (doesn't work obviously)
Thansk in advance,
