[Nix-dev] Re: RHEL5 Issues re-visited.

[Peter Simons]

Hi Jeevakan,

I applied your patch to the current SVN head and tried to build Nix on a
x86_64 linux system. Unfortunately, glibc-2.7 doesn't compile with the
2.6.18-92.el5PAE-i686 kernel headers. I've tried on two different machines,
but the outcome is a compile error in libc-tls.c. More specifically, the
symbol "__NR_arch_prctl" is undeclared in __libc_setup_tls(). It seems that
the glibc build mis-configures how to access thread local storage.

Did you ever experience that problem?

Take care,
Peter
