Hi,
I try to rebuild on openSUSE 13.1 for armv7hl the glibc package, with
rpmbuild --rebuild glibc-2.18-4.44.1.src.rpm
but it fails with :
gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -r -o /home/phdm/rpmbuild/BUILD/glibc-2.18/cc-base/elf/librtld.os ‘-Wl,-(’ /home/phdm/rpmbuild/BUILD/glibc-2.18/cc-base/elf/dl-allobjs.os /home/phdm/rpmbuild/BUILD/glibc-2.18/cc-base/elf/rtld-libc.a -lgcc ‘-Wl,-)’

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Searching for the cause, I noticed that __libc_do_syscall is needed only for thumb mode, but some parts of glibc are compiled with the -mthumb flag for gcc, hence the need for __libc_do_syscall’, but other are compiled without, thus not providing __libc_do_syscall’.
Looking deeper I have seen that the -mthumb flag comes from %optflags in the following way :
BuildFlags='-O2 -g -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -mthumb -mabi=aapcs-linux -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE'
removing the ‘-mthumb’ flag, that comes directly from /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc or /usr/lib/rpm/platform/armv7hl-linux/macros, I make the build succeed, but it does not provide a rpm package with identical binaries as in the opensuse glibc-2.18-4.44.1.armv7hl.
How should I do to be able to rebuild exactly glibc-2.18-4.44.1.armv7hl from glibc-2.18-4.44.1.src.rpm in order to incoporate in it a patch that I need ?
TIA
