I am using v2.4-2.

also, when I try to use the glibc (not from the toolchain), i get.

$ ./ltib -c

Why would this happen?

Seth,

I spent some time on this and worked through the redefinition errors. I was able to spot some errors such as:

#ifdef __STDC__

instead of

#if __STDC__

More redefinition errors just kept popping up.

Some of the code in glibc-2.5 looks like it was written with an older version of gcc in mind.

I would suggest trying to update the glibc package in LTIB.

How do I go about updating a package for the RPM?

We have somebody looking at this now. If nothing happens soon on that front, then I can look into how to update glibc.

I will reply here when I have more information.

Any updates?

Seth,

I had someone look into it and the verdict is that glibc 2.5 is so old that many packages would not build with it. The toolchain offers libc 2.8 and installs it into the rootfs. We are going to remove the glibc 2.5 from the BSP. If you tell me a little more about what you need from the library I can look into it. Also, LTIB has posted some information on the toolchain in the FAQ [1].

I don't know if I necessarily need the library yet. I want to get OpenCV on this BSP. My first cut at a compile OpenCV from source resulted in errors derived from glibc2.5 (if I am not mistaken). When I have time, I will try running the library again and provide the output. 

P.S. For fun, I wanted to see if I could do native compiles using a GCC provided by your BSP.
