It works !
Is there a good documentation somewhere about the "official" method for
building eglibc for debian ?
i was not aware of this way of patching source and the "classical" way
(patch, configure) that i used does not show any error although the
compilation failed. It is a little misleading for a beginner.
Thanks

I try to build eglibc from source but it fails. I'm on Debian squeeze6.0.3
I downloaded [eglibc_2.11.3.orig.tar.gz] and [eglibc_2.11.3-2.diff.gz]from
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libc6
Then:
gzip -d eglibc_2.11.3-2.diff.gz
tar xf eglibc_2.11.3.orig.tar.gz
cd eglibc-2.11.3/
patch < ../eglibc_2.11.3-2.diff <- no errors
A simpler and less error-prone way to unpack the source would be to use
"dpkg-source -x eglibc_2.11.3-2.dsc".
cd ../build/ <- build/ is
an empty directory
../eglibc-2.11.3/configure --prefix=$(pwd) <- no fatal error
make -j 10
The compilation fails with the following error:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../manual/errno.texi', needed by
`../sysdeps/gnu/errlist.c'. Stop.
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/bibop554/compile_libc/eglibc-2.11.3/stdio-common'
make[1]: *** [stdio-common/subdir_lib] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bibop554/compile_libc/eglibc-2.11.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Not sure if i made an error somewhere or if it is a bug.
The Debian diff does not patch the source directly, but uses a patch
system named quilt. You need to install the quilt package and then run
"make -f debian/rules patch".
The unpatched source does not build because Debian had to remove the
documentation, and the upstream build system is not prepared for that.
Cheers,
Sven
