[oe] Cannot compile glibc-initial for ARM

Thu Nov 24 11:47:44 UTC 2011

Hi Khem,

Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately, removing TARGET_OS and changing glibc to eglibc did not help:

| running configure fragment for ports/sysdeps/arm/elf
| checking for ARM TLS support... yes
| running configure fragment for nptl/sysdeps/pthread
| configure: error: working compiler support for visibility attribute is 
required
NOTE: package eglibc-initial-2.12-r21.8+svnr13230: task do_configure: Failed
ERROR: TaskFailed event exception, aborting
ERROR: Build of 
/home/pawelo/h3660/openembedded/h3660/../recipes/eglibc/eglibc-initial_2.12.bb 
do_configure failed

What else could be wrong?

Best regards,
Paul
