Unable to compile glibc-2.36 in Chapter 5.5

Hello,

i tried compiling glibc today, but unfortunatly I ran into an error I could not resolve.

Code:

init-first.c:86:1: error: visibility attribute not supported in this configuration; ignored [-Werror=attributes]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make[2]: *** [../o-iterator.mk:9: /mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-2.36/build/csu/init-first.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-2.36/csu'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:484: csu/subdir_lib] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-2.36'
make: *** [Makefile:9: all] Error 2

Here is the output of

Code:

../configure

And here the output of version_check.sh:

Can anybody resolve the issue, I tried my best googeling, but have not gotten smarter.
Thank you in advance.

Did you set selinux to permissive or off? Fed is not a good host for noobs imo. Use arch and the dev-lfs-sysd book for best results. Or try the dev book once Fed selinux is off. Host with latest GCC etc wont build the stable books.

Ok, thanks for the reply, it will probably be, that the gcc version is to new. I will try with arch as you said, although I don`t think, that Fedora is to blame here.

I have a note on glibc-2.36. I tried compiling it with both gcc-4.7.4 gcc-10.2.0 many ways.

NEVER COULD GET IT TO COMPILE 32 bit - I believe it's broken. So I stuck with glibc-2.25 - which does.

(it compiles 64 bit and is less compatible with old software than glibc-2.25 which also isn't compatible but easier, far as I've seen)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tot...t-linux-distro
https://totally-built-linux-distro.s...com/index.html

and gccc-12, that has "et phone home" built-in with no commandline option to disable phone-home during build

So you didn't post enough of your error log. I'd need to have seen the whole commandline that failed and whole error message.

make[1]: *** [Makefile:484: csu/subdir_lib] Error 2

The above directory makes crti.o crtn.o - if these fail or aren't offset correctly the build might even complete but the chroot will fail (segfault when chrooting).

______________

So gcc10+ and glibc do not agree on everything.

init-first.c:86:1: error: visibility attribute not supported in this configuration; ignored [-Werror=attributes]

Did you try CFLAGS="-Wno-error=attributes" ?

______________
here's a clip from my script for glibc-2.25 which had compiled 2.36 (64bit only) at one time:

CFLAGS="-march=$lTUNE -O2 "
CXXFLAGS="-march=$lTUNE -O2 "
# CFLAGS="-march=$lTUNE -O2 $CFLAGS -Wno-error=zero-length-bounds -Wno-error=
undef"
## say NOTHING
CPPFLAGS=""
unset CPPFLAGS

I have 3 sets of options for glibc and cannot get it to compile without custom options for each situation:

1) set of opts for compiling 32 to 32
2) set of opts for crossing 32/64 (2nd chroot)
*) compiling 64/64 (when neither of the above, normal compile)
