    TIL that we have a twenty-year-old libstdc++ in the tree.Maybe we should mask it?It is supossed to work with gcc <3.4 and the oldest we have is 8.5.0, which is masked already.-------- Original Message --------On 9/10/24 02:50, Michael Orlitzky <

    Do you know any way of work around this? Maybe copying the binary file from >> another distro or try to use another gcc version?

    It's running a test program to find the glibc minor version:

    #include <features.h>
    main(argc, argv)
    int argc;
    char *argv[];
    {
    printf("%d\n", __GLIBC_MINOR__);
    return 0;
    }

    But this test program, having been written 20+ years ago, is crap. It's missing <stdio.h> and a correct signature for "main" at least. Newer
    GCCs (like the one that you're using) will refuse to compile it. So the
    test fails unexpectedly, and the build stops. You might be able to
    trick it by disabling -Wimplicit-int, -Wimplicit-function-declaration,
    and whatever other warnings that program raises... but then you have to actually compile the rest of it with a new GCC. Good luck :)


    It shouldn't be *that* hard.

    And as Sam noted:

    """
    I concur with Eli and Enne. We should just strip it all. It's a brittle
    package for ancient binaries.
