Install nscd systemd files

Install nscd systemd services file and tmpfile when glibc is configured with

Require bison 2.7 or newer for regenerating intl/plural.y

2014-12-22T11:57:40+00:00

The merge of the latest gettext code introduced changes to the yacc
parser source that are incompatible with versions of bison older
than 2.7. Add a configure check for the appropriate versions and
document the requirement in INSTALL.

ChangeLog:

2014-12-22  Will Newton  

	* manual/install.texi: Document that we require bison 2.7
	or above.
	* INSTALL: Regenerate.
	* configure.ac: Use AC_CHECK_PROG_VER instead of
	AC_PATH_PROG when checking for bison and check for
	version 2.7 or above.
	* configure: Regenerate.

Bump required version of texinfo to 4.7

2014-12-15T08:59:31+00:00

It seems we require texinfo 4.7 for the --plaintext option, so
document that and check for the correct version in configure.

ChangeLog:

2014-12-15  Will Newton  

	* manual/install.texi: Bump required version of texinfo
	to 4.7 from 4.5.
	* INSTALL: Regenerated.
	* configure.ac: Check for makeinfo version 4.7 and above.
	* configure: Regenerated.

Use -Werror by default, add --disable-werror.

2014-12-10T01:14:48+00:00

As discussed starting at
, this
patch makes the glibc build use -Werror by default to avoid
accidentally adding new warnings to the build.  The configure option
--disable-werror can be used to disable this.

-Wno-error=undef is temporarily used because the build isn't clean
regarding -Wundef warnings.  The idea is that once the remaining
-Wundef warnings have been cleaned up (in at least one configuration),
-Wno-error=undef will be removed.

I get a clean build and test on x86_64 (GCC 4.9 branch) with this
patch.  The expectation is that this may well break the build for some
other configurations, and people seeing such breakage should make
appropriate fixes to fix or suppress the warnings for their
configurations.  In some cases that may involve using pragmas as the
right fix (I think that will be right for the -Wno-inline issue for
MIPS I referred to in
, for
example), in some cases -Wno-error in sysdeps makefiles (__restore_rt
in MIPS sigaction, for example), in some cases substantive fixes for
the warnings.

Note that if, with a view to listing all the warnings then fixing them
all, you just look for "warning:" in output from building and testing
with --disable-werror, you'll see lots of warnings from the linker
about functions such as tmpnam.  Those warnings can be ignored - only
compiler warnings are relevant to -Werror, not linker warnings.

	* configure.ac (--disable-werror): New configure option.
	(enable_werror): New AC_SUBST.
	* configure: Regenerated.
	* config.make.in (enable-werror): New variable.
	* Makeconfig [$(enable-werror) = yes] (+gccwarn): Add -Werror
	-Wno-error=undef.
	(+gccwarn-c): Do not use -Werror=implicit-function-declaration.
	* manual/install.texi (Configuring and compiling): Document
	--disable-werror.
	* INSTALL: Regenerated.
	* debug/Makefile (CFLAGS-tst-chk1.c): Add -Wno-error.

Require GCC 4.6 or later to build glibc.

2014-11-14T18:00:34+00:00

As discussed in the thread starting at
, and
continuing into November, this patch increases the minimum GCC version
for building glibc to 4.6 (there seemed to be no clear consensus for
4.7).  In particular, this allows us to use #pragma GCC diagnostic for
fine-grained warning control with -Werror (subject to establishing a
suitable policy for that use).  The documentation has a statement, as
requested, about the most recent GCC version tested for building
glibc, and I've updated  to
refer to updating that statement.  A NEWS entry is added for this
change, although previous such changes didn't get them.

Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch).

	* configure.ac (libc_cv_compiler_ok): Require GCC 4.6 or later.
	* configure: Regenerated.
	* manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Document a
	requirement of GCC 4.6 or later and that GCC 4.9 is the newest
	compiler verified to work.
	* INSTALL: Regenerated.

Update minimal required bunutils version to 2.22

Remove bitrotten --enable-oldest-abi (bug 6652).

2014-09-16T17:45:03+00:00

This patch removes the --enable-oldest-abi configure option, which has
long been bitrotten (as reported in bug 6652).  The principle of
removing this option was agreed in the thread starting at
.

Tested for x86_64 and x86 that the installed shared libraries other
than libc.so are unchanged by this patch and that libc.so disassembly
and symbol versions are unchanged (debug info changes because of
changed line numbers in csu/version.c).

	[BZ #6652]
	* Makeconfig (soversions-default-setname): Remove variable.
	($(common-objpfx)soversions.i): Don't pass default_setname to
	soversions.awk.
	* Makerules ($(common-objpfx)abi-versions.h): Don't pass
	oldest_abi to abi-versions.awk.
	* config.h.in (GLIBC_OLDEST_ABI): Remove macro undefine.
	* config.make.in (oldest-abi): Remove variable.
	* configure.ac (--enable-oldest-abi): Remove configure option.
	* configure: Regenerated.
	* csu/version.c (banner) [GLIBC_OLDEST_ABI]: Remove conditional
	text.
	* scripts/abi-versions.awk: Do not handle oldest_abi variable.

Remove configuration name patterns from shlib-versions.

2014-09-12T12:28:47+00:00

This patch removes the first column (patterns matching configuration
names) from shlib-versions, leaving shlib-versions entry selection
based purely on sysdeps directories.

An implication of this removal is that the default for any non-Linux
ports using NPTL will be the same SONAMEs for NPTL libraries as for
Linux (as those defaults, previously limited to .*-.*-linux.*, are
left in nptl/shlib-versions and nptl_db/shlib-versions).

Special host_os handling in configure.ac that was purely for
shlib-versions is removed.  (The host_os setting is still used for
libc-abis - see
 regarding
that - but no entries there are affected by this change.)

Tested on x86_64 and x86 that the installed shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch.

	* scripts/soversions.awk: Do not handle configuration names.
	* Makeconfig ($(common-objpfx)soversions.i): Do not pass cpu,
	vendor and os variables to soversions.awk.
	* configure.ac: Do not modify gnu-* host_os.

detect broken linker handling of __ehdr_start

2014-08-12T23:54:02+00:00

Older versions of ld on ia64 support __ehdr_start, but generate relocs
when they shouldn't.  This causes the ld.so to not run because it tries
to resolve the __ehdr_start symbol (but it's not exported).
