No. My versions of ldso and libc are lup to date slink. Furthermore, my
binaries check out precisely (md5summed) with those belongin to another
member of this list, who has now problem.
My current working hypothesis is that this is a 'sun4c' only problem. The
RedHat-Sparc page (FWIW) lists the 4c series as 'tier 2' supported,
because 'the kernel has some MMU problems with these machines'.
I'd be interested for anyone on this list to email me (personally, I'll
repost a summary to the list) the effect of 'ldd /usr/lib/libm.so',
followed by 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'. I'll compile the results and see if
there is a common factor.
In fact, to be complete, why not run 'dpkg -l ldso' 'dpkg -l libc6' first.
Here is what I am talking about:
