   Has anyone had experience with building and using GNU libc for the
   SPARC running SunOS 4 and SunOS 5? I desperately need a working C
   library on SunOS (Sun's isn't, believe it or not) and glibc seems
   to be the answer.



OK, so I got past the "missing ioctl.h" problem*, but now I have 2 new
problems. Some background:

sun0s 4.1 on a sparc

gcc 2.4.5
gas 2.0 (I think. I got the "latest" from prep last week.)
binutils 2.1.1
grep 2.0
glibc 1.06.


All are compiled with gcc 2.4.5 using the -O flag. (I will try -g next)

My problems:

1) zic (Zone Information Compiler) fails to link: ld (the GNU loader)
	dies with a signal 11. (seg fault.)

2) I ignore the zic problem and go on, fine. I try make install and
	it fails attempting to "make -C assert/ subdir_install" with
	the message:
		No rule to make target libc.a

Any ideas?


*Apparently, SunOS 4 has a broken egrep. To compile glibc-1.06 I
needed GNU grep 2. This has worked well. Thanks to the person who
posted here with that info.
