You're welcome! :o)

For building an application the header files in /usr/include (i.e.
$(ELDK_ROOT)/ppc_8xx/usr/include are used.

We need newer header files than the on ethat come with your ELDK. So instead of
just copying the missing files and messing the whole system up I thought it
would be a good idea to rebuild the glibc using the 2.4.19 kernel headers. And
so getting a clean /usr/include path.

I meant that I did what you said in ftp.leo.org/pub/eldk/README.html in section
8 "Rebuilding ELDK Components". So I pulled
ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/eldk/eldk-ppc-sources.tar and extracted
target\SRPMS\glibc-2.2.1-0f.src.rpm from it. This file I installed using
$(CROSS_COMPILE)rpm -i glibc-2.2.1-0f.src.rpm. So I got the glibc sources and
specs und /opt/ELDK/usr/src/denx/SOURCES.

Just like you said in your README.

Hmm. That's right. It's SuSE 8.0. But the other .po files produced no errors.
BTW I had troubles with the file "zh_TW.po" as well.

I just deleted these two files (in /opt/ELDK/usr/src/denx/BUILD/glibc-2.2.1/po/)
and tried again: With success thsi time!

I've seen a couple of

but now I have some new rpms to install:
