I will try building it on an older kernel and on RHEL. I initially built it on the previous kernel when Update 1 was released.
I can confirm that the kernel seems to be the culprit. After my last report I have now just downgraded the kernel from 2.6.9-11.ELsmp to 2.6.9-5.0.5smp, which solved the problem. I have successfully built glibc rpms, including a set built with -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs.
So there seems to be something wrong with the latest kernel.
That's not sound logic. Whatever is wrong with the build is only evident under the new kernel, but that doesn't come close to proving that the fault is not with the toolchain or buildscripts.
I agree ... and I would not use that kernel on anything important. There are memory leaks that cause Kernel oopses on moderately loaded servers.
I am currently installing an up2date RHEL-4 install specifically to build this package and verify that the issue is not CentOS specific.
