           Summary: Failed to compile binutils-2.21
           Product: buildroot
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
        ReportedBy: fhbxl at hotmail.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


Enviornment: Fedora 15 
I downloaded buildroot-20110603.tar.bz2, unzipped it, only saved directly to
use the default values in menuconfig. Then do a simple "make". I got a compile
error when compiling binutils-2.21, the error is:

# gcc >= 4.3.0 have to also build all-target-libgcc
/usr/bin/make -j2 -C
/home/haibo/learn/buildroot/output/toolchain/gcc-4.3.5-intermediate all-gcc

I could work around this problem by doing the following:
$cd /usr/lib
$rm libc.so
$ln -s /lib/libc.so.6 libc.so

But this is not the best way, because ASCII file /usr/lib/libc.so's missing
incurs other problems, fox example "make menuconfig" fails to launch

Huh, is your system libc corrupt? Are you building as root?

I notice this workaround , is wrong , no,  /usr/lib/libc.so is not missing  ,
/usr/lib/libc.so, is in glibc-devel package.
Sometimes, also, some people do this wrong workaround when need the static
libraries which normally are in a package glibc-static

Many people routinely build toolchains with Buildroot without seeing this
problem, and we haven't had further details from the initial bug reporter since
several months. I'm therefore closing this bug. Anyone seeing the issue is
invited to reopen the bug with more details.
