I'm on it, namely on trunk of elibc (version > 2.15). I'm not fully tested results or checked steps, but here comes sketch how it should go (my vision). (I have binutils2.22 installed, not sure is it needed. More info later) You need newer gcc than 4.2. Libc needs autoconf2.68. Autoconf2.68 needs: m4 1.4.13, but we have only 1.4.8-2. pkg-config 0.26, but we have only 0.22 Compiling m4 1.4.13: Based on ubuntu 12.04 package lower dependency of texi2html Code: #this check is failing rm ./checks/005.command_li #this test is failing rm ./tests/test-spawn-pipe.sh Installing m4 Code: fakeroot dpkg -i Compiling pkg-config 0.26 Based on ubuntu 12.04 package Fetch debian/rules from Fremantles version installing pkg-config Code: fakeroot dpkg -i ../pkg-config_0.26-1ubuntu1_armel.deb #outside of scratchbox sudo rm /scratchbox/devkits/autotools-legacy/bin/pkg-config sudo ln -s /scratchbox/users/`whoami`/targets/FREMANTLE_ARMEL/usr/bin/pkg-config /scratchbox/devkits/autotools-legacy/bin/pkg-config Compiling autoconf2.68 Based on ubuntu 12.04 package Code: echo 5 > /debian/compat Installing autoconf Code: fakeroot dpkg -i ../autoconf_2.68-1ubuntu2_all.deb #outside of scratchbox sudo rm /scratchbox/devkits/autotools-legacy/bin/autoconf sudo ln -s /scratchbox/users/`whoami`/targets/FREMANTLE_ARMEL/usr/bin/autoconf /scratchbox/devkits/autotools-legacy/bin/autoconf Compiling eglibc Code: svn co svn://svn.eglibc.org/branches/eglibc-2_14 eglibc mkdir eglibc_build cd eglibc_build CC=gcc-4.6 ../eglibc/libc/configure --enable-add-ons=nptl,../eglibc/ports --prefix=/opt/ make
