Yeah...but I'm at work now, probably has failed again somewhere. I really need a script to do this for me. When I left for work it had failed on Coreutils ... I'll post the exact error (sorry I was running late for work). Something about C99 inline functions.

Alright everything is compiled. The ONLY thing giving me problems is firefox. And it does it spiratically. It might be flash that's causing it, I don't know for certain. However I can say that my system is quite stable at the moment (doesn't feel like its about to freeze up on me). Besides the compilation errors I reported everything compiled. Emacs doesn't segfault anymore, everything is wonderful.

I think the Firefox problem is x86 specific.

Found out just now that openoffice doesn't function right. You can't see the text that your writing...

Unfortunately, that's a known bug (in the gcc 4.2 thread). It's annoying, but I guess Koffice is O.K. for basic ODF etc.

There isn't a bug in the OpenOffice Issue tracker (soon to be fixed, ha) - but there is a bug which proposes a workaround in https://bugs.pld-linux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5
Basically, it seems there's one bit which is incorrectly marked as having hidden visibility (because of the gcc 4.2 hidden visibility overhaul I assume)...

cpio-2.8 compiles and runs fine against glibc 2.6...I'm starting the compilation of openoffice 2.2.1 because it claims to have fixed some of the bugs with gcc 4.2. I'll let you guys know in the morning.

Does it work, too? :twisted: (i.e. are fonts okay?)

I awoke to coreutils 6.9-r1 not compiling. Is there a patch out there for this?

EDIT:
Also gzip isn't compiling. I just finished compiling openoffice 2.2.1...still has invisible text error.

Yep, OOo 2.2.1 still does. At least all of the text is invisible now - 2.2.0 sometimes you could get half-glyphs visible in Writer...

Well now it's definitely a feature, not a bug.

Compared to Microsoft Office, OpenOffice implements several brand new text rendering modes. One of these is an entirely unique feature, available only in OpenOffice - invisible text rendering!


On an unrelated sidenote - the fonts in Firefox/Epiphany (on the menus, but not inside the browser) have now gone as well. (Just blank spaces and large squares).

Great...I haven't checked that yet...So this is definately a GCC bug instead of a openoffice/firefox bug right?

*shrug* I'd say it's something wrong with cairo-1.4.8/pango combination (I suspect unrelated to gcc 4.2, it used to work before I updated cairo today).

Vlad how much ram do you have on your AMD64 Box? I did a check on what was causing the crash and it looks like most of my ram is being eaten up by applications. i don't know if there is a memory leak somewhere (I don't believe there to be one because my computer would've halted by now). Firefox throws up a Malloc error when it crashes. Looks like it can't get more memory from the heap. I have 1 Gig of memory on my laptop, I hope i don't need to buy more.

Other than archiving utils and openoffice, how are other things, like DE's, games, multimedia apps, and whatnot?

Everythings fine. I haven't downgraded glibc and I've been only having trouble with that I've been complaining about (i.e. openoffice and firefox). Nothing else has crashed on me. I wish someone else would test this too because I'm sure there are programs that i don't use, or haven't thought to use yet that might have issues.

I'm working right now on building the über-glibc patchset for my über-toolchain.

It will be a snapshot build of the glibc-2.6 trunk.

I'll let you know how it goes when I'm done and rebuild world.

Since last week I've been using a new ~amd64 install I made, based on glibc-2.6, gcc-4.2.0 and binutils-2.17.50.0.16, all from portage, and the palgene overlay for the archiving tools, coreutils and X. Everything works fine, I only had to compile enigmail with gcc-4.1.2. I use KDE with beryl and emerald, with nvidia-drivers. MPlayer and Avidemux run fine, wine as well. So does firefox-bin with flash. I haven't tried games on this yet.

I've found that on my system kvirc segfaults. I'm going to try going to some unstable things.

The only real annoyance with glibc-2.6 is that there is no nptl use flag for it, and several ebuilds check to see if glibc was compiled with support for nptl.

This bug was opened on gentoo bugzilla and includes a patch for OO and gcc 4.2.0
https://bugs.gentoo.org/184054
I didn't try it yet, though.

We'll see when it comes in the tree...

edit: oh this solution was posted already, but at least the bug is new...

is there a short how-to to apply a failing patch during emerging (at the beginning) & then progress ?

Quote:
* Failed Patch: glibc-2.5-hardened-inittls-nosysenter.patch !
* ( /usr/local/portage/sys-libs/glibc/files/2.5/glibc-2.5-hardened-inittls-nosysenter.patch )


still fails :roll:
