Part of this patch was undoing some changes to make static -binaries compiled against Glibc-2.2 work. However, this is not what the -Glibc developers intended and we don't need to keep this modified Glibc -around. So we reinstall Glibc here to remove this patch.</para> - -<para>A second reason to install Glibc again is because it's considered -cleaner. The first Glibc was installed using programs compiled on your host -distribution which sometimes has the effect of tainting Glibc. While this -isn't a problem with the other packages compiled early in this chapter, for -Glibc we want to be sure it's 100% OK (although feel free to reinstall -other packages at this point so you can say you compiled an LFS system with -LFS. Much like GCC's bootstrap installation method).</para> - -<para>We'll also install the linuxthreads man pages here. As you may -recall, during the first installation of Glibc this wasn't possible because -Perl wasn't installed yet. Now that everything needed to install the Glibc -linuxthreads man pages is present as well, we will install those too.</para> - -<para>Before starting to install Glibc, you must cd into the -glibc-&glibc-version; directory and unpack glibc-linuxthreads inside -the glibc-&glibc-version; directory, not in /usr/src as you normally -would do.</para> - -<para>This package is known to behave badly when you have changed its -default optimization flags (including the -march and -mcpu options). -Therefore, if you have defined any environment variables that override -default optimizations, such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, we recommend unsetting -or modifying them when building Glibc. You have been warned.</para> - -<para>Basically, compiling Glibc in any other way than the book suggests -is putting your system at very high risk.</para> - -<para>It is recommended by the Glibc installation documentation to build -Glibc outside of the source tree.
