PPC Versions of Glibc and GCC Status

[Kevin B. Hendricks]

Hi,

There is a mutex bug in the glibc 15d rpms that Blackdown found and sent to
the libc-alpha list.  It prevented linuxthread 15c and 15d rpms from
working correctly.  Please try with Franz's glibc-2.1.3-5a rpms, they work
fine for the jdk.  I will pass the patch along to Franz and hopefully there
will be a 15e rpm set out that should work fine for you (it does for the
JDK anyway).

I have attached the patch which you can use to make your own 15e rpm until
Franz gets a chance.

Hope this helps.

Kevin
