glibc_2.27-8 build fails on Butcher (testing)

[Tetsuji Rai <t-rai@umin.org>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build several packages from their source packages, however
I have not succeeded in building glibc_2.27-8.   It always fails telling
ndbm.h and varargs.h (or stdarg.h) in testsuite building, although I
have installed libgdbm-compat-dev (including /usr/include/ndbm.h) and
stdarg.h, varargs.h (in libstdc++-7-dev and libstdc++-8-dev).  Error
messages are as follows.  These appear many times because they are tried
many times.


Anyone have clues?   I am sure many people have done this.


Thanks in advance!!   Best regards,
