| Series | Update glibc to 2.38; make C.UTF-8 always available | expand |
Hello! I’ve just pushed v2: 5bbddafeaa gnu: glibc: Improve handling of empty .a files. 1cebc334a7 gnu: glibc: Ensure C.UTF-8 locale is always found. c76e44396e gnu: glibc: Install C.UTF-8 locale. d5242a562e gnu: glibc: Update to 2.38. cd43baad60 gnu: mpfr: Update to 4.2.1. 3ea04038b5 gnu: glibc-utf8-locales: Generalize and use gexps. 22f06be928 gnu: gcc@11: Update to 11.4.0. I think it’s just the beginning of a journey :-) since we’ll have to test and fix cross-compilation, and eventually investigate the (define glibc/hurd glibc) problems Janneke already reported. By pushing my hope is to get support from the build farms so we can test these higher-level issues without having to rebuild everything locally. Ludo’.

With the v1 patchset I found that by reverting the file update and bringing it back to 5.44 I was able to build all the way to hello on x86_64-linux, i686-linux, aarch64-linux, riscv64-linux and powerpc64le-linux. I haven't tested armhf- or powerpc- yet. For cross-compiling I ran into a test failure in mpfr@4.2.0 and 4.2.1 as needed by gcc-cross-i686-linux-gnu-11.4.0. FAIL: tsprintf ============== Error in mpfr_vsprintf (s, "%0+ -'13.10Pd:", ...); expected: "+01,234,567 :" got: "+0001,234,567:" FAIL tsprintf (exit status: 1)
Changes since v1: • The ‘install-utf8-c-locale’ phase now installs nothing when cross-compiling. Eventually, I’d like to (1) change the package to use gexps, and (2) use the native ‘localedef’ from ‘this-package’ to build locales when cross-compiling as this appears to do the job. • Incorporated the GCC and MPFR patches by Janneke. (Since we haven’t yet added a ‘core-packages’ team, I’m seeing people likely to be interested. :-)) Ludo’. Greg Hogan (1): gnu: gcc@11: Update to 11.4.0. Janneke Nieuwenhuizen (1): gnu: mpfr: Update to 4.2.1. Ludovic Courtès (5): gnu: glibc-utf8-locales: Generalize and use gexps.
