Anyway, I just succeeded in compiling glibc on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. The comments in this shell script explain how I did it:
# Script for building glibc in Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit # Based on: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867674 # Prerequisites: # Create a directory named glibc (or whatever you want). # Put this script in that directory. # Put the source of gcc in to a subdirectory named src by running: # git clone git://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git src # Run this script. # Run: # cd build && make # This will take about an hour and in the end will produce # a file named libc.so in the build directory. cd `dirname $0` PREFIX=`pwd`/install rm -Rf build mkdir build cd build cat > configparams <<-EOF CFLAGS = -pipe -O2 -fstrict-aliasing -g -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs -fno-stack-protector BUILD_CFLAGS = -O2 -g BASH := /bin/bash KSH := /bin/bash LIBGD = no bindir = /usr/bin datadir = /usr/share localedir = /usr/lib/locale sysconfdir = /etc libexecdir = /usr/lib rootsbindir = /sbin includedir = /usr/include docdir = /usr/share/doc mandir = /usr/share/man sbindir = /usr/sbin EOF CC="gcc -fno-stack-protector -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE" CXX="g++ -fno-stack-protector -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE" AUTOCONF=false ../src/configure \ --host=x86_64-linux-gnu \ --build=x86_64-linux-gnu \ --prefix=$PREFIX \ --without-cvs \ --enable-add-ons \ --without-selinux
