    Hi,

     No, I was right. I am some kind of experienced Debian user, and
    ofcourse I compile with debuild only. Why I was requisting the wrapper
    is a simple fact, that it may help to enforce the same gcc flags for
    every *.c/*.cpp files

     Well, it should not be a problem, as it's almost freshly installed
    system, and I can compile other big things like an universal kernel
    (everything are compiled as modules, with added patches like Orlov for
    ext3, grsecurity and the like). On an other test machine this kernel can
    boot up via initrd, and use two different scsi cards, two different
    network cards, and use ide for 60Gb LVM2 partitions.

     Yes, that's why I am lost. Previously I thought it was because I
    altered glibc, but it's the same with apt-get source glibc and debuild
    immediately without changing anything.

    > Can you compile other stuff OK?
     Yes, and it seems it's neither a memory problem, I run unstable on this
    machine with Gnome2.4, compile a lot of stuff, and this is the only
    problem I have.
     I think I should write about what I am trying to achieve: I would like
    to compile a _locale package only_, where the default locale is hu, and
    it's being generated with locale-gen. So the only thing I mess with
    libc6 is because they come from the same source: glibc.

    > What exactly segfaults?
     See the attached script. It's ugly, but may be better for our case than
    debootstrap. This script should install a chroot system from the testing
    packages, but as soon as one of the packages would like to use hostname,
    and it's not found at the stage, I get a segfault. If all I do is to put
    back the original libc6 and locales packages from the debian archive,
    then everything are fine.

     Thanks for it, I do appreciate it!

     Thanks! I hope I can try it soon.

    Cheers,
